Hi

I am trying to use Catalyst with an Informix database and am having problems with DBIC and the use of serial auto-increment keys. After a weekend of googling I realise that DBIC does not actually support Informix although select and update work ok. Then I came across Rose::RDBO::Object which does support Informix but I can’t find any simple examples of how to use Rose::RDBO with Catalyst ie like the Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial which uses DBIC.

Has anyone used Catalyst with an Informix database and if so which ORM are you using and what advice can you offer?
Any pointers in either getting DBIC to work with Informix or RDBO with Catalyst would be gratefully received.

Nobody's filed a bug against DBIx::Class saying there are
any problems
with Informix, so we were assuming it worked fine.

Maybe you could get on the dbix-class list and tell us what
problems you're
seeing so we can try and help? DBIC supports anything with a
user capable
of and willing to send error messages and try DBI tests.

(I have no idea how to use RDBO, though
Catalyst::Controller::Rose may help
you there)

If you search the Catalyst archives, you'll find some posts
on both
