Perl Dbi




DBI was specified by as a CPAN module in accordance with the Open Source model. DBD (DataBase Driver) modules serve as plug-ins which allows programmers to use nearly database-independent SQL code in their applications.

The DBI and DBD Perl packages allow Perl programmers to access many database environments in a uniform way. Each supported database environment is implemented as a DBD driver, in much the same way that hardware devices from multiple vendors can be used across CPU platforms. DBD implementations can be obtained by downloading from the Internet. DBD implementations exist for proprietary products such as Oracle , Microsoft SQL Server , IBM DB2 , etc. and for Free Software databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL .

The latest DBI module for Perl from CPAN is available for a range of Operating System s.
