I use a module (Rose::DB) that parses and formats db-specific column values
for me: various kinds of dates, "SET"s, arrays, all the crazy db-specific
data types that are a pain to manually parse and then format.  Very few DBI
abstraction modules provide this feature, but IMO it's essential.

 This is a quick RFC concerning database wrapper modules and
 frameworks, large and small, which are quite common on CPAN;
 specifically it concerns such things that are not any of my creations.

 I am going to propose a Lightning Talk for OSCON in the next few days
 (deadline is July 22, a practice is on July 19th) on the subject of
 databases and SQL generation and portability and such things.


The best survey of database wrappers I have seen is here:
