Database programming is therefore a natural fit for Perl, not only for business applications but also for CGI-based web and intranet applications.The primary interface for database programming in Perl is DBI. DBI is a database-independent package that provides a consistent set of routines regardless of what database product you use--Oracle, Sybase, Ingres, Informix, you name it. The design of DBI is to separate the actual database drivers (DBDs) from the programmer's API, so any DBI program can work with any database, or even with multiple databases by different vendors simultaneously.\u003ci\u003eProgramming the Perl DBI\u003c\/i\u003e is coauthored by Alligator Descartes, one of the most active members of the DBI community, and by Tim Bunce, the inventor of DBI. For the uninitiated, the book explains the architecture of DBI and shows you how to write DBI-based programs. For the experienced DBI dabbler, this book reveals DBI's nuances and the peculiarities of each individual DBD.The book includes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003eAn introduction to DBI and its designHow to construct queries and bind parametersWorking with database, driver, and statement handlesDebugging techniquesCoverage of each existing DBDA complete reference to DBI\u003c\/ul\u003eThis is the definitive book for database programming in Perl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e O'Reilly Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/29\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781565926998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 7.05w x 0.86d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2000 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tim Bunce, Alligator Descartes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38350457143477,"sku":"9781565926998","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_533e27ac-f659-4520-ae71-74a9d5ecbfce.jpg?v=1611644907","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/programming-the-perl-dbi-database-programming-with-perl-9781565926998","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
