DBIx::DataModel is a wrapper framework for building Perl abstractions
(classes, objects and datastructures) that interact with relational
database management systems (RDBMS). Of course the ubiquitous DBI
module is used as a basic layer for communicating with databases; on
top of that, DBIx::DataModel provides facilities for generating SQL
queries, joining tables automatically, navigating through the results,
converting values, and building complex datastructures so that other
modules can conveniently exploit the data.

Testing with databases can be tricky. If you are developing a system
married to a single database then you can make some assumptions about
your environment and ask the user to provide relevant connection
information. But if you need to test a framework that uses DBI,
particularly a framework that uses different types of persistence
schemes, then it may be more useful to simply verify what the framework
is trying to do -- ensure the right SQL is generated and that the
correct parameters are bound.
DBD::Mock makes it easy to just modify your configuration (presumably
held outside your code) and just use it instead of DBD::Foo (like
DBD::Pg or DBD::mysql) in your framework.

so that /usr/local/lib/ocaml/ld.conf doesn't get modified durring the
build. idea from databases/ocaml-postgresql. NOTE: these ports need some
more adjustment after unlock. they need @exec/unexec to properly tweek
/usr/local/lib/ocaml/ld.conf.
- add no-autoheader to quiet warning
okay naddy@ pvalchev@
