Perl DBI Reference
The following is a list of DBI methods and functions in
alphabetical order. The syntax and an explanation of each as well as
examples for most are provided. However, to save space, the examples are
only excerpts and are missing some components, such as the calling of the
DBI module and the creation of a database handle. Also, to focus on the
particular method or function described, we’ll use a very simple table
containing a list of books and the names of their authors with the same
SELECT
statement. See the previous section (the
tutorial) for an example of a complete, albeit simple, Perl DBI program.
In addition to passing parameters, you can affect the behavior of several
methods by setting global values called attributes.
See the end of this chapter for a list of attributes.
