The DBD::CSV module is yet another driver for the DBI (Database independent interface for Perl). This one is based on the SQL "engine" SQL::Statement and the abstract DBI driver DBD::File and implements access to so-called CSV files (Comma Separated ...

The DBD::AnyData module provides a DBI/SQL interface to data in many formats and from many sources. Currently supported formats include general format flatfiles (CSV, Fixed Length, Tab or Pipe "delimited", etc.), specific formats (passwd files, web l...

The DBD::PO module is yet another driver for the DBI (Database independent interface for Perl). This one is based on the SQL 'engine' SQL::Statement and the abstract DBI driver DBD::File and implements access to so-called PO files (GNU gettext). Such...

DBD::RAM allows you to import almost any type of Perl data structure into an in-memory table and then use DBI and SQL to access and modify it. It also allows direct access to almost any kind of file, supporting SQL manipulation of the file without co...

DBD::DBM is a database management system that works right out of the box. If you have a standard installation of Perl and DBI you can begin creating, accessing, and modifying simple database tables without any further modules. You can add other modul...

This document is primarily intended to help people writing new database drivers for the Perl Database Interface (Perl DBI). It may also help others interested in discovering why the internals of a DBD driver are written the way they are. This is a gu...

The DBD::File module is not a true DBI driver, but an abstract base class for deriving concrete DBI drivers from it. The implication is, that these drivers work with plain files, for example CSV files or INI files. The module is based on the SQL::Sta...

DBD::Proxy is a Perl module for connecting to a database via a remote DBI driver. See DBD::Gofer for an alternative with different trade-offs. This is of course not needed for DBI drivers which already support connecting to a remote database, but the...

SQLite is a public domain file-based relational database engine that you can find at <https://www.sqlite.org/>. DBD::SQLite is a Perl DBI driver for SQLite, that includes the entire thing in the distribution. So in order to get a fast transaction cap...

DBD::Sprite is a DBI extension module adding database emulation via flat-files to Perl's database-independent database interface. Unlike other DBD::modules, DBD::Sprite does not require you to purchase or obtain a database. Every thing you need to pr...

SQLite is a public domain RDBMS database engine that you can find at http://www.sqlite.org/. Rather than ask you to install SQLite first, because SQLite is public domain, DBD::SQLite2 includes the entire thing in the distribution. So in order to get ...

SQLcipher is a public domain file-based relational database engine that you can find at <http://www.sqlite.org/>. DBD::SQLcipher is a Perl DBI driver for SQLcipher, that includes the entire thing in the distribution. So in order to get a fast transac...

DBD::WTSprite is a DBI extension module adding database emulation via flat-files to Perl's database-independent database interface. Unlike other DBD::modules, DBD::WTSprite does not require you to purchase or obtain a database. Every thing you need t...

This module has been created to act as a drop-in replacement for modules that tie straight perl hashes to disk, like "DB_File". When the running system does not have enough memory to hold large hashes, and disk-tieing won't work because there is not ...

This module ties an array to a database table using only an "index" and a "value" field. If no tables specification is passed, this will create a temporary table with "h_key" for the key field and a "h_value" for the value field. I think it would mak...

DBI::DBD::SqlEngine abstracts the usage of SQL engines from the DBD. DBD authors can concentrate on the data retrieval they want to provide. It is strongly recommended that you read DBD::File::Developers and DBD::File::Roadmap, because many of the DB...
