:(

It seems that mocking the database with DBD::Mock when using DBIx::Class is
simply incompatible (DBIx::Class just complains about an unrecognised DBI
driver, then proceeds to drop back to some default SQL and fails badly)

I've been looking into alternatives, like Test::DBIx::Class (which is a module
to create an in memory sql database to test against, but this route requires
lots of work manually creating dummy data to test against). I then tried
DBIx::Class::Sims (which is a module to automatically fill tables with randomly
generated dummy data, but this approach also fails because our database schema
has a large number of cyclic relationships and the Sims module doesn't cope
with this well)

Interesting enough, the problem I'm facing (Not wanting to have to populate the
whole structure of a Borrowers Row and satisfy all constraints manually) is
basically solved by the TestBuilder module we recently decided not to adopt!

I'll keep battling with it, but I have a feeling the Test size will have to
jump substantially as I add all the releated data in a transaction.  It
shouldn't be this Hard!
