The DBI interface allows perl programs to use DBD (Database Definition)
|
|
drivers with a common set of routines. A program can then (theoretically)
|
|
change from using mSQL to Oracle (for example) without changing the entire
|
|
program around.
|
|
|
|
This DBI interface is not yet fully specified. The current development
|
|
work is focused on writing drivers, such as DBD::Oracle, which also
|
|
implement emulations of old perl4 database interfaces, e.g., oraperl.
|
|
This strategy enables the DBI and drivers to serve a useful purpose
|
|
whilst allowing the real interface to evolve with experience behind the
|
|
emulation interface.
