[Catalyst] DBIC and RDBO compared (was: Choosing the right ORM)

Just a side note. The Oracle CONNECT BY is non standard, but there is a SQL 
conformant tree syntax. PostgreSQL is working on it and it will show up in 
psql 8.2, I guess. Other DB's might incude it later. I think that DB2 has it 
already, but it's not on DBIC's target list.

I have a rather convoluted query builder for a system specific report writer. 
I'll give rewriting it in DBIC a shot. I expect it to slow to a crawl if I 
ever finish converting it, but hope to be surprised :-)
