Does the Mangager generate cool manga characters from a database? :)
Oh, I get it, you mean DB Manager. Oh well. There's
quite a few of these already, so you might consider adding
to a project rather than starting your own. I usually bring
up WDBI since I've used it the most, and it already works with
multiple databases. It's home page is ominously silent, however;
but a quick trip to FreshMeat showed me some new DB definer/managers
that I'd never seen before, so no worries.
If you feel you really must write another one of these yourself, then I suggest
taking most of what you have now and moving it to a module named for MySQL.
Then install yourself some PostgreSQL and make another module for it.
By getting at least two databases working, you'll have migrated a good portion
of the non-portable code out of the main program and also will have created
a framework for others to add databases, should they be inclined.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
