Re: Re: MySQL basics

From the DBI documentation site.

# ``A Short Guide to DBI''

A new article written by Mark-Jason Dominus for the O'Reilly Perl site. This article is generally quite decent, if a little choppy in the reading. It does, however, contain errors, some of which really shouldn't be there. ( This is quite embarrassing considering O'Reilly never asked Tim nor Alligator ( the people they're paying to write the DBI book for them ) to check the article over ). It also doesn't bother listing the upcoming DBI book nor this WWW site in the References section!

It was written in 1999 and predates the publication of Programming the Perl DBI by a year. Personally asking for referencing to vapourware (which was the case at the time) seems a bit much :-) Like all introductions it makes omissions of fact and glosses over areas. Perhaps you might enlighten us with the errors. There are certainly a lot less than in much of the SQL/DBI code we often see posted here. cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply]
