• Commented on Poor Mans Jobqueue for Catalyst Apps
  Have you taken a look at Helios? I admit it may not quite do what you want out of the box (yet); it currently is more of a "fire-and-forget" job management system rather than one that tightly integrates with your...

  Leaving an SQL query prepared for the entire lifetime of the process is not a good idea to adopt as a style. This is highly dependent on the type of application you are writing and the RDBMS you are using....

  Thanks Joel! I did not realize just how easy it was to start writing Mojolicious apps. I do webapp+database stuff all the time, and having a small but concrete example directly relevant to something I’m working on really helps....

  YAPC::NA 2012 was excellent! I really want to congratulate the organizers, staff, and sponsors for putting together such a well-organized, informative, and fun event. I had not been to a YAPC in a couple of years, and this year's conference made me wonder why I had stayed away so long. It was…

• Commented on What should be core in Perl 5.16?
  My knee-jerk reaction is "no more stuff in the core!" Core Perl 5 is already getting bloated to the point *nix distributors are considering removing it from default installs. But after reading over others' comments, I do think there are...

  Hello!

  For Unicode support there are few fixes needed:

  Add:

  use Encode;
  plugin Charset => {charset => 'utf-8'};
  

  modify / method to:

  any '/' => sub {
    my $self = shift;
    my $rows = $self->select;
    # convert utf-8 octets -> unicode
    for my $Item ( @{ $rows } ){
        map { $_ = decode('utf-8',$_) } @{ $Item };
    }
    $self->stash( rows => $rows );
    $self->render('index');
  };
  

  Best regards

  Before I ask a question, let me say thank you for all the examples and explanations (I see your name frequently).

  I have gotten a handle on the fundamentals of Mojolicious. The one thing I can not find any information on is, creating a schema from and existing MS SQL database then connecting.

  Everything I read is SQLite or any other version beside MS SQL. I’m starting to wonder if it’s similar to Corona SDK in that you create a sql database to store information, then push that data to your server DB.

  If anyone else has any experience or information PLEASE…

  Before I answer, let me just say that commenting on an ancient post is unlikely to get great responses mostly because the visibility is so low. I only happened to notice because it was on the posting comment dashboard which I rarely look at. In the future, come talk with us http://mojolicious.org/perldoc#SUPPORT

  To your actual question. I think very few of us use MS SQL, mostly just because most of us are on *nix. I think were I you, I’d look for tools like sqitch etc which are intentionally mu…
