Hi,

Is there a DBI driver for Postgres available somewhere?

Thanks,
Anand.

What is DBI and what will you use if for?

DBI is a perl module for database interaction. a DBD module must go along
with it for whichever database backend you're using, such as DBD::Pg, or
DBD::mysql, and so on.

they're all available from cpan (cpan.org).

-tcl.

Wouldn't it make sense to look in the place where all of the DBI
drivers available for perl is before you ask this question? The answer
is, of course, yes, you can get it from the same place that all other DBI
drivers are available.

DBI is perl's database abstraction layer. You use it to make perl
talk to databases.

Go to CPAN mirror near you and grab DBI-1.06.tar.gz ( AFAIK it is latest)
and DBD-Pg-0.91.tar.gz. They usualy sit in modules/by-module/DBI/ and
modules/by-module/DBD/ branches of CPAN directory tree.

Kevin.
