Hi all:

Just wondering what all of your thoughts are with respect to this
article: http://dave.org.uk/talks/lpm/2006/orm/

I think he raises some valid points, so it's worthwhile to see what we
can do in terms of patching SQL::Translator to provide a better
interface.

This is cross-posted to two mailing lists (DBIx::Class and
SQL::Translator), so you may not see all replies unless you are part
of both lists.

I think the thing about constraints is important. Is it possible to
implement custom constraints on data? What I mean is, parse the
constraint from the SQL database, and then use that to validate data
prior to INSERTs and UPDATEs? Then you could validate data before it
even enters the database.

Cheers,

Jonathan
