SQL injection by whom and how?

I can't get the template to work, and you think I've got user input set up?

I give up, it was I nice idea but I'm going no-where fast.

Thanks anyway.

You didn't say anything there that didn't imply DBIC is fine.

The reason for not using DBIC again?

Also, your SQL abstraction has hilarious SQL injection holes - you do know about this, right?

You're doing something wrong with DBI here!

> I also believe that DBIC gets all columns from all tables, which I don't want, dunno, perhaps I'm missing something with DBIC, but I understand my data the way I retrieve it and didn't think there was anything wrong with using my SQL class, it has served me well for 10 years, and powers all my current apps.

That's by default, and optional.

Again, you're doing something wrong or insane here - this is not normal, so you must be asking for it somehow.
