NAME
DBX - Perl extension to simplify and enhance the DBI with minimal overhead
SYNOPSIS
use DBX;
$conn = DBX->mysql("database=test;host=localhost;", "", "");
$rs = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM test");
while($rs)
{
print $rs->field("client") . "\n";
$rs->field("client", "test");
$rs->move_next;
}
ABSTRACT
Abstracts the DBI by providing easy-to-use wrappers.
DESCRIPTION
The DBX family of modules provides a layer of abstraction over the DBI. The DBX provides a simple cursor system, and a simple field retrieval and updating system.
The DBX module exports no subroutines. To connect to a data source, use the following code:
use DBX;
my $conn = DBX->mysql("database=test;host=localhost;", "", "");
Simply replace mysql
with the name of the DBD driver you want to use. You should not include "dbi:mysql:" in the connection string; DBX specifies this automatically.
In the above code, $conn is a DBX::Connection object, which can be used to issue queries on the data source. DBX queries are handled by DBX::Recordset.
DEPENDENCIES
Requires the DBI module and appropriate DBD drivers.
