Module XBase provides access to XBase (dBase, Fox*) database files,
|
|
namely dbf, dbt, fpt, ndx, ntx, mdx, idx and cdx. It provides native
|
|
Perl interface ($table->get_record, $table->update_record) to read
|
|
and write the tables. The index support is alpha and read only at the
|
|
moment.
|
|
|
|
Module DBD::XBase is a DBI driver that uses the XBase module
|
|
to work with the data, providing you with DBI compliant processing
|
|
interface and SQL commands ($dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM TABLE")). As
|
|
an argument to DBI->connect, specify "dbi:XBase:$dir", where $dir is
|
|
the directory with the data files.
