Re: Potential for new database driver

Hi John and Lyle,

John, Apologies for the link not coming through.  The Blueprints documentation can be found at https://github.com/tinkerpop/blueprints/wiki.  Also, I apologize if I got the terminology mixed up.  My indention is to write a DBD for Blueprints in pure perl. 

Lyle, thank you for your feedback.  It definitely sounds like a good plan.  Writing it in perl first would be much easier in my case (C is not my strongest language).

I have read the DBI::DBD documentation (only once, not twice as instructed) and have found it very verbose. It seems that writing a C driver will be the optimal solution for speed but a pure perl driver will make the module more maintainable. If I were to work on the driver I think my goal would be a pure perl driver. The DBI::DBD documentation suggest an initial email to the dev list before pursuing code on any driver, so here I am. If anyone is currently working on this or is interested in working on this could you please let me know.
