So, the API that MySQL and PostgresSQL provide to interact with their database products are considered DBI?

This seems silly and logical both at the same time... but still par for the course in the computer world

Of course, I never really did figure out email, which I _think_ is a similar thing (I never really figured it out), what with POP3, IMAP, MTA, MDA, STMP, DNS, and half a dozen other protocals required just to get an email from point A to point B

(Sorry, I do not mean to be belligerent, I just challenge people's response when it doesn't make sense in hopes they answer with something to make it make sense)
