DBIx::Skinny::Manual::EN - DBIx::Skinny Manual (English)

DESCRIPTION

Why I made DBIx::Skinny.

There are many OR mappers for Perl - Class::DBI, DBIx::Class, Data::ObjectDriver, Data::Model, Rose::DB::Object, DBIx::DataModel, etc.

The OR mappers listed here basically use OO methods based on SQL queries to assemble a database result.

Various objects are the result.

Class::DBI and DBIx::Class have been widely used. DBIx::Class is an especially powerful OR mapper but also a bit heavyweight and somewhat slow.

The main objectives of DBIx::Skinny are:

Inflate when dealing with utf8 issues

Handle common OR operations

Intuitive select statements

Smaller code base.
