DRIVER PRIVATE METHOD/PRE <PRE> DBI-&gt;data_sources() The `data_sources' method returns a list of &quot;databases&quot; (.ldb files) found in the current directory and, if specified, the path in the ldap_HOME environment variable. </PRE> <PRE>

    $dbh-&gt;tables()
        This method returns a list of table names specified in the current 
        database.
        Example:</PRE>
<PRE>
            my($dbh) = DBI-&gt;connect(&quot;DBI:LDAP:mydatabase&quot;,'me','mypswd');
            my(@list) = $dbh-&gt;func('tables');</PRE>

        DBD::LDAP currently treats all data as strings and all fields as 
        VARCHAR(255).</PRE>
<PRE>
        Currently, you must define tables manually in the &quot;&lt;database&gt;.ldb&quot; file 
        using your favorite text editor.  I hope to add support for the SQL 
        &quot;Create Table&quot;, &quot;Alter Table&quot;, and &quot;Drop Table&quot; functions to handle this 
        eventually.</PRE>

        &quot;Create Table&quot;, &quot;Alter Table&quot;, and &quot;Drop Table&quot; SQL functions for 
        creating, altering, and deleting the tables defined in the 
        &quot;&lt;database&gt;.ldb&quot; file.</PRE>
<PRE>
        Some kind of datatype support, ie. numeric (for sorting), CHAR for padding, 
        Long/Blob - for &gt;255 chars per field, etc.</PRE>
