I don't understand the anti-loader thing. it saves me a lot of initial typing.... it's kind of nice. but i totally agree on the whole dump load once and then mantain manually. A huge help when moving apps to DBIC. the auto loading of meta data into RDBO is what i really liked, column types, length constraints, etc.
