+The "simple" way of using DBIx::Class needs less classes than the "schema"
+way but doesn't give you the ability to easily use different database connections.
 
 Some examples where different database connections are useful are:
 
 different users with different rights
 different databases with the same schema.

-First you need to create a base class all other classes inherit from.
