My experiences writing DBD::google (Score:2, Informative)

by dlc (50) <reversethis-{gro.toorneves} {ta} {cld}> on 2003.03.24 10:28 (#18248) Homepage Journal

When I started writing DBD::google, there was only one thing to go by: DBI::DBD, which gives a basic but servicable intro to writing a DBD. Since then, Takanori Kawai released DBD::Template, which provides a pretty good starting point, mostly (it seems) encapsulating the good advice from DBI::DBD.

As far as SQL::Statement goes, I initially wrote DBD::google without it, but am rewriting it to subclass SQL::Parser and implement it's own feature set, which (SELECT-wise) is a superset of ANSI SQL, but in all other ways is extremely limited. Jeff Zucker (the SQL::Statement maintainer) tells me that the upcoming SQL::Statement version 1.006 will be even more amenable to subclassing that 1.005 is.
