Fellow monks,

I started writing some tests using DBD::Mock, but have hit a problem right at the beginning. My module asks the DBI handle for the database product name using get_info(17) (see the excerpt from the DBI docs below) because it needs to dispatch among different SQL dialects. Unfortunately, DBD::Mock returns nothing.

Can DBD::Mock be made to say what I want for any of the driver info properties? Looking at the docs (and the source) I could not figure out how. And I think it should also say something like "DBD::Mock v0.xy" by default.

From the DBI docs: Because some DBI methods make use of get_info(), drivers are strongly encouraged to support at least the following very minimal set of information types to ensure the DBI itself works properly: 

 Type  Name                        Example A     Example B
 ----  --------------------------  ------------  ----------------
   17  SQL_DBMS_NAME               'ACCESS'      'Oracle'
   18  SQL_DBMS_VER                '03.50.0000'  '08.01.0721 ...'
   29  SQL_IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR   '`'           '"'
   41  SQL_CATALOG_NAME_SEPARATOR  '.'           '@'
  114  SQL_CATALOG_LOCATION        1             2
