Summary
"The primary interface for database programming in Perl is DBI. DBI is a database-independent package that provides a consistent set of routines regardless of what database product is in use - Oracle, Sybase, Ingres, Informix, you name it. DBI separates the actual database drivers (DBDs) from the programmer's API, so any DBI program can work with any database, or even with multiple databases by different vendors simultaneously." "For the uninitiated, the book explains the architecture of DBI and explains how to write DBI-based programs. For the DBI expert, this book explains DBI's nuances and the peculiarities of each individual DBD."--Jacket.
