Storm is a fast object-relational mapper (ORM) for Python and used in
Canonical's Launchpad project. Storm is developed in a test-driven
manner, provides small and clean public APIs and works with everything
from SQLite to PostgreSQL and MySQL.

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.

- enable linking against already installed libdb.so instead of the
internally shipped static library

Generate realistic random data for people including gender, age, date of
birth, first and last names, and title. Names can be created for
several ethnic groups including Vikings.
