This software is a powerful and adaptable object relational mapper that can be easily extended and configured for specific needs. It provides developers with flexibility and efficiency in managing data within their applications.
The software fetches rows off the statement handle only when needed when a result set is used as an iterator to minimize memory usage. DBIx::Class has auto-increment support for SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and DB2, and it is known to be used for production on at least the first four databases. It is also fork and thread safe out of the box, though the DBD may not be. As the software is still under rapid development, major features may be marked EXPERIMENTAL, though such APIs have edge bugs; hence, failing test cases are always welcome. Point releases are quickly put out rapidly as bugs are found and fixed.
DBIx::Class's team is committed to maintaining full backward compatibility for published APIs since the software has been used in the production of many organizations. Even if there are backward-incompatible changes to non-published APIs, the team will fix them if they are reported and doing so doesn't cost the core of the software anything. This software has a considerable test suite, and several developer versions are usually made to CPAN before merging the branch with the next release to the trunk for a significant update.
