DESCRIPTION

Data::Shark provides a simple mechanism to load some of the Data::Shark modules at one go.

Currently this includes:

Data::Shark::DB
Data::Shark::DIO
Data::Shark::FIO
Data::Shark::Util

Plese see the Google Code page for more documentation. It will eventually be rolled into the POD.

Data::Shark::DBI

The database layer provides some simple wrappers around the DBI. By using the simple wrappers a single point of error/status logging can be achieved, along with code size reduction.

Data::Shark::DIO

The DIO module generates data access functions. This allows a simple consistant interface for all data interaction, the functions can be read into memory or placed in file. Each function is defined by a namespace, group, name, type, statement, return type, etc. And has a set of input keys and output keys. Currently SQL access is supported, but others will be added. This modules removes any data access dependencies from a program. There is also support for caching, replication and profiling.

The attributes can be stored in a RDBMS for easy administration.

Example:

my $result = MyNameSpace::MyGroup::get_customer(
  {'customer_id' => $cid});

If the return type is a hash, then the results are placed in a hash reference.

$result->{'name'}, $result->{'address'}, etc.

Data::Shark::FIO

The module FIO generates a form access that class that handles validation and events, etc. Like the DIO module these attributes can be stored in a RDBMS for easy administration.

NOTE: This module is under construntion.

Data::Shark::Util

The Util module contains a collection of helper methods.
