Name
data_sources
Synopsis
@ary = DBI->data_sources($driver); @ary = DBI->data_sources($driver, \%attr);
Returns a list of all
data
sources (databases) available via the named driver. The driver will
be loaded if it hasn’t been already. If
$driver
is empty or undef
, then
the value of the DBI_DRIVER
environment variable
is used.
Data sources are returned in a form suitable for passing to the
connect
method (that is, they will include the
dbi:$driver:
prefix).
Note that many drivers have no way of knowing what data sources might be available. These drivers return an empty or incomplete list.
