class::dbi, triggers, and tolerances
I’m a real newbie to Class::DBI. I’ve known about it for quite a while, but I never used it until OSCON, when I attended Casey’s crash course. I got a nice crash course once I got home, too, when I had to figure out how to make Class::DBI work with MSSQL and ODBC. Some of the problems I had were self-inflicted, like when I didn’t realize I had to include default options (like DBIx::ContextualFetch) if I subclassed db_Main. A few others were caused by ActiveState’s apparently broken Class-DBI ppd, which claimed to be 0.96 but was really 0.95. I did find a nice little bug in Class::DBI itself, though, which apparently only mattered with ODBC+MSSQL. I’m hoping to see my name in the changelog for 0.97; I’ll settle for seeing 0.97 at all, though. I’m trying to avoid needing custom versions of CPAN modules at work.
