As with DBI, it lets +you work with data a row at a time, but gives you the extra ability +to, with a single method call, reach across and grab rows of related +data from tables located elsewhere in your database, without having +to construct an SQL join clause yourself. The 'distance' from the +originating table to the related one can be arbitrarily long, so +long as they are related in some way -- i.e., could both return +data through a single (though perhaps quite lengthy) SQL query. |
