Re^4: dbi question

The connection object ($dbh) is an instance of the DBI class.

Technically, that's not exactly true, but in it pretty much behaves in that way. The class of $dbh is DBI::db.

Why it is done this way, I don't really know. I guess that probably the idea was to restrict the number of methods $dbh has access to.

Ah, right. Good catch. That's tripped me up a couple times when writing Moose classes with `dbh` attributes and I tried making them `isa => 'DBI'`. One of these days I'll remember about that without having to get it wrong first...	[reply] [d/l] [select]
