So, what do you actually /want/ from the DBI reference?<br>
<br>
- a summary of DBI methods?<br>
- how to use SQL through DBI directly?<br>
- a guide to using an SQL abstraction module?<br>
- a guide to effective SQL for MySQL, PgSQL, Oracle, or something else?<br>
- a guide to the "best" ORM for Perl?<br>
<br clear="all"></blockquote></div><br><br>Good question.<br><br>I want a handy 'desk' reference with<br><br>a) Lots of examples <br>b) Easy to read and complete reference material<br><br>The reason is that I can't hold the details in my head (because I do not DBI regularly) , but I need to keep knocking off dirty that little scripts that run sql queries. I figure the easiest way for that is SQL via DBI rather than an abstraction module.<br>
