Dbix::recordset is a perl module for abstraction and simplification of database access.

the goal is to make standard database access (select/insert/update/delete) easier to handle and independent of the underlying dbms. special attention is made on web applications to make it possible to handle the state-less access and to process the posted data of form fields, but dbix::recordset is not limited to web applications.

dbix::recordset uses the dbi api to access the database, so it should work with every database for which a dbd driver is available (see also dbix::compat).

most public functions take a hash reference as parameter, which makes it simple to supply various different arguments to the same function. the parameter hash can also be taken from a hash containing posted form fields like those available with cgi.pm, mod_perl, html::embperl and others.
