This module was inspired by the excellent DBIx::Abstract. However, in using the module I found that what I wanted to do was generate SQL, but still retain complete control over my statement handles and use the DBI interface. So, I set out to create an abstract SQL generation module. This module is based largely on DBIx::Abstract. However, there are several important differences, especially when it comes to WHERE clauses. I have modified the concepts used to make the SQL easier to generate from Perl data structures and, IMO, more intuitive. WWW: http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=SQL-Abstract
