Project Spotlight: Sequel
Sequel is a great library providing a nice clean interface to a variety of databases. In a previous project we used it to generate reports using PDF::Writer (which is looking for a new maintainer) sucking in data from a large MS SQLServer database with no problems. Sequel is under some very active development and features are being added thick and fast. If ActiveRecord is just too heavy to use it’s a real viable alternative for easy database access.
