Re: MYSQL DBI

The usual approach is to use DBI with the DBD::mysql backend.

The testing reports for DBD::mysql don't look very bright, but then again it's only one failure for Solaris. Older versions have some success reports for Solaris.

Does the client script also run on Solaris, or only the server? If the client runs on a more common platform (such as linux) it might be easier to get the modules installed.

I have used DBD::mysql on Solaris 10 fairly extensively with no problems. Have you already tried this module? Was there some specific problem you experienced?	[reply]

No problem, I just wanted to make sure that I didn't recommend something that doesn't run at all on Solaris, so I mused a bit over the cpan tester reports.	[reply]
