DBD::mysql is a Perl module with MySQL driver for the Perl5 Database Interface (DBI).SYNOPSIS use DBI; $dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=$database;host=$hostname;port=$port"; $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password); $drh = DBI->install_driver("mysql"); @databases = DBI->data_sources("mysql"); or @databases = DBI->data_sources("mysql", {"host" => $host, "port" => $port}); $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bla"); or $sth = $dbh->prepare("LISTFIELDS $table"); or $sth = $dbh->prepare("LISTINDEX $table $index"); $sth->execute; $numRows = $sth->rows; $numFields = $sth->{'NUM_OF_FIELDS'}; $sth->finish; $rc = $drh->func('createdb', $database, $host, $user, $password, 'admin'); $rc = $drh->func('dropdb', $database, $host, $user, $password, 'admin'); $rc = $drh->func('shutdown', $host, $user, $password, 'admin'); $rc = $drh->func('reload', $host, $user, $password, 'admin'); $rc = $dbh->func('createdb', $database, 'admin'); $rc = $dbh->func('dropdb', $database, 'admin'); $rc = $dbh->func('shutdown', 'admin'); $rc = $dbh->func('reload', 'admin');EXAMPLE #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use DBI(); # Connect to the database. my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=test;host=localhost", "joe", "joe's password", {'RaiseError' => 1}); # Drop table 'foo'. This may fail, if 'foo' doesn't exist. # Thus we put an eval around it. eval { $dbh->do("DROP TABLE foo") }; print "Dropping foo failed: $@n" if $@; # Create a new table 'foo'. This must not fail, thus we don't # catch errors. $dbh->do("CREATE TABLE foo (id INTEGER, name VARCHAR(20))"); # INSERT some data into 'foo'.

In other words: DBD::mysql is an interface between the Perl programming language and the MySQL programming API that comes with the MySQL relational database management system. Most functions provided by this programming API are supported. Some rarely used functions are missing, mainly because noone ever requested them. Requirements: · Perl
