What t0m suggested is perfectly fine but if you want to mimic the DBIC<br>
API with a different engine, this example does that (superficially and<br>
as a tutorial only): <a href="http://sedition.com/a/2739" target="_blank">http://sedition.com/a/2739</a> Log file model–Apache<br>
access log. The reason that example makes sense is because the<br>
underlying model/data is similar: searchable, sortable rows. If you're<br>
trying to shoehorn in something dissimilar, you might be making a<br>
mistake.<br>

I'm not sure to what extent it is wise or correct.<br>
The whole point of "models" is that it abstracts the model and I can change where the data comes from later, right? So don't they all have an underlying abstract interface regardless of how they are sourced?<br>
</blockquote><div><br>The only abstraction Catalyst::Model provides is initialization. Personally I don't like this approach but I cannot imagine what common abstraction it could provide for so diverse models. Some Catalyst::Model::xxx classes do provide some additional functionality - like Catalyst::Model::DBIC which adds the possibility to address the resutlsets with a shortcut - but it's their own unique additions.<br>
