Hi Søren,

I'm sorry to respond such late.

To be true - even if I would point you to some documentation, it wouldn't
satisfy you're needs neither it would be fair since I plan a more or less
hard refactoring.

A few month ago we integrated an API into DBI::DBD::SqlEngine for such
kind of interaction, especially for DBD::File related DBD's as DBD::AnyData.

Because of $work, family, etc. we stuck a bit but today I officially set
the NEEDHELP flag on PAUSE which says: I want help to move AnyData and
DBD::AD to the improved basic of DBI::DBD::SqlEngine and start over
with AnyData.

I know Sven has created a GitHub repository. It should be moved to perl5-dbi
which would allow anyone on DBI-Team to grant support.

Cheers
