Yes, you need to implement your own storage class and pass it to your
schema via My::Schema->storage_type, which currently defaults to
'::DBI'. You'll need knowledge about how the SQLA syntax tree works,
mimicking DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI should get you started. Good news
is, you won't need to implement the entire spec, just the bits you
need for your app, incrementally. I've sucessfully done this in order
to query the Facebook API, which provides data serialized as JSON.
