libdbix-dbstag-perl - 0.12-4 main

The module DBIx::DBStag is for mapping from databases to Stag objects
(Structured Tags - see the Data::Stag manpage), which can also be
represented as XML. It has two main uses:
.
Querying
This module can take the results of any SQL query and decompose the
flattened results into a tree data structure which reflects the
foreign keys in the underlying relational schema. It does this by
looking at the SQL query and introspecting the database schema,
rather than requiring metadata or an object model.
.
In this respect, the module works just like a regular the DBI
manpage handle, with some extra methods provided.
.
Storing Data
DBStag objects can store any tree-like datastructure (such as XML
documents) into a database using normalized schema that reflects the
structure of the tree being stored. This is done using little or no
metadata.
.
XML can also be imported, and a relational schema automatically
generated.
