Why not take the SQLAlchemy approach with its lower-level expression language? Avoid string parsing, implementing specific dialects of SQL, etc.
I love perl, but why strings? Writing SQL is not that fun. The cognitive leaps one has to make is annoying. Why not write queries in natural perl statements and translate them to SQL?
That being said though, modernperl++ and yay for perl 6. :) </fanboyism>
- chromatic 16y agoWhy not take the SQLAlchemy approach with its lower-level expression language? You can indeed do that. I prefer SQL to ORM; de gustibus non est disputandum. I love perl, but why strings? Even structured data, such as a nested data structure serialized to JSON, is a string until you parse it. I don't understand the question.
