I was counting on the section in the Class::DBI manual that said the
Essential columns defaults to the All setting. I did try your suggestion
and set up which columns should be essential. Since these changes things
have gotten quite a bit speedier and the number of queries has dropped.
Your code line didn't work for some reason. I had to put each column in
by hand. Perhaps the All setting is not populated by default.
Regardless, I do agree with Simon that something needs to change in the
way Class::DBI::AsForm works in Maypole. It would make thinks
considerably snappier.
Thanks for your help.
