Re: RFC: Databases made easy

Great work. It also might be nice to note that you can set the dbh flags as a parameter during the connection. It's clear here, but when you are connecting to multiple databases and have a lot of db handles and statement handles flying around, consolidating the code makes things easier to read :)

This brings up the other notion of using `connect_cached()` instead of `connect()`, which new users may be unfamiliar with. Demize	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`/me nods...` One of the best things I ever did, was to sit down and actually read every bit of the documentation page on the CGI module, and then, every bit of the documentation about the drivers I was using. This is deep material and there is a lot of it, and I read it through twice, resisting mightily the urge to “scan” (or simply, to let my eyes glaze over and Zzzzzz...). Grab a triple-shot espresso and do the same. (Fair warning: it took several days.)
