[Mpls-pm] Next meeting?

[jira0004]

Hi,

I've used DBI to write database applications.  I've
used it with Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

It is very convenient.  Also, it supports vendor
specific stuff.

Basically, most developers use it to perform queries
(selects), updates, and deletes.  You can use it to
work with BLOBs (Binary Large Objects) in PostgreSQL.

It has some cool features for optimizing performance,
although to be honest I've seldom used those.  I guess
I could put together a talk (how long?) and when is
the next meeting?

Regards,

Peter Jirak
