Обсуждение: Driver Frustration// Perl DBI
I'm working with Postgresql to implement a DB on the Web. After discovering that Dreamweaver UD 4 does not support Posgres, even thought I'm running Postgresql through an ODBC, I went on to Perl. The latest Perl DBI interface I can find on CPAN is dated 1998 and is for PostGre95. Is there an up to date Perl DBI for Postgresql? When can I find it? (it's NOT in CPAN!). Thanks, Cheryl

The reccommended module for Postgres is DBD::Pg, although the outdated DBI module will work for simple queries (as I have used it extensively for simple data transfers). I'm not sure what the status of the DBD::Pg driver is; here's the project: http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/dbdpg/projdisplay.php -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

Try: http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-category/07_Database_Interfaces/Pg/ I only know this because its called DBI:Pg or something on the SuSE GUI installer :o) regards, Ben.

When can I find it? (it's > NOT in CPAN!). I'm running the "unstable" version of Debian Linux, and got the DBD::Pg as a package from Debian. It says that DBD::Pg is version 1.13, and can be gotten from dbi.symbolstone.org. For the DBI package, the version number is 1.30. The home seems to be dbi.perl.org. Those 2 versions, should be pretty close to the newest available. Gord -- Matter Realisations http://www.materialisations.com/ Gordon Haverland, B.Sc. M.Eng.

Hi Cheryl -
You should use DBI + DBD-Pg-1.12 module like so:
use DBI;
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Pg:dbname=$database",$user,$password);

Yes, it is: the DBD::Pg module is in version 1.21: perl -MCPAN -e shell install DBD::Pg should install the latest version for you (presuming you have DBI installed already). -- keith kkeller@speakeasy.net public key: http://wombat.san-francisco.ca.us/kkeller/kkeller.asc alt.os.linux.slackware FAQ: http://wombat.san-francisco.ca.us/cgi-bin/fom

You can find the same document online http://search.cpan.org/ Look for DBD::Pg or DBI --Rosta > Le Wed, Jan 29, 2003 at 03:15:46PM +1100, simran a écrit ... > >> Have a read of the documentation for the DBI and DBD::Pg modules. >> >> perldoc DBI >> perldoc DBD::Pg > > desmond@lievre.voute.net % perldoc -f dbi > No documentation for perl function `dbi' found > > :-( > > D. > > -- > Desmond Coughlan |'Io non mori, e non rimasi vivo' > desmond@zeouane.org > http://www.zeouane.org ************************************ Rosta Farzan Laboratory for Adaptive Hypermedia and Assistive Technologies Department of Math and Computer Science CSU Hayward rosta@acc.csuhayward.edu (510) 885-4026 *************************************
