`DBI' with `DBD::mysql'
-----------------------

`DBI' is a generic interface for many databases. That means that you
can write a script that works with many different database engines
without change. You need a DataBase Driver (DBD) defined for each
database type. For MySQL, this driver is called `DBD::mysql'.

For more information on the Perl5 DBI, please visit the `DBI' Web page
and read the documentation:
     `http://www.symbolstone.org/technology/perl/DBI/index.html'
For more information on Object Oriented Programming (OOP) as defined in
Perl5, see the Perl OOP page:
     `http://language.perl.com/info/documentation.html'

Note that if you want to use transactions with Perl, you need to have
`Msql-Mysql-modules' version 1.2216 or newer.
