Seems to be a very useful module. As name I would suggest DBIx::Normalize or MySQL::Normalize. The selection should depend on how specific is your module to MySQL. The SQL statements shown to us seems to be basic SQL statements. I don't have much knowledge of other databases than MySQL, but I could imagine they also work with Oracle, mSql, Mickeysoft SQL Server, ... If not MySQL is a better namespace than DBD::mysql, because DBD::mysql handles MySQL-drivers. MySQL:: instead is for specific modules for MySQL. Greetings, Andrea
