Hi Monks,

I am brand spanking new to PERL and have a few questions regarding DBI's and DBD's. We are (my colleague and I) exploring options as far as which database and operating system to use on a project. My questions are related to DBI and DBD's: (The DB's we are considering are MS Access, MySQL and SqlServer:

  1. Are the DBI's and DBD's portable or does each database have it's own unique DBI/DBD combination ??
  2. Where can I obtain downloads of the DBI/DBD files ???

Thanks in advance.... if you wish to email please send to michaeltoth@yahoo.com

Mike
