What’s planned? (some other stuff)
Faster database and statement handle creation
Get some life into the on-line DBI FAQ-o-matic system
Add stackable pre and post method dispatch hooks
- will enable all sorts of interesting ‘plug-ins’ for the DBI
- monitoring, tracing, benchmarking, logging etc
-
$h->swap_internal_handle($other_h)
- Brain transplants for handles! Opens the way for some cute features like
- lazy connect and lazy prepare
- reconnect to database but still use original handle
-
Rename finish() to discard_pending_rows()
- only half joking, I’d leave finish as an alias!
Think about Perl6 (supporting driver migration etc.) ...
