Re: DBI

[Damon T. <da...@ra...>]

"The DBI is a database interface module for Perl. It defines a set of methods, variables and 
conventions that provide a consistent database interface independent of the actual database being 
used."

The DBD is a database driver for a specific database engine.  For example, DBD::Pg is the DBI 
implementation for Postgresql.  

Here is a FAQ

If you perform a search with your favourite search engine for "DBI" you will find lots of 
information.
