The docs for DBD::ODBC give examples of how to make connections. perdoc DBI
gives a lot of good examples of how to use DBI, and diagrams out the place
of DBI and DBD in the application. That's probably enough to get you started
with it.
As for whether it can be used with Win 2K and Access, yes. I do it
occassionally and have even migrated data off of Access onto other DBMS's so
I can say yes it is possible.
You might monitor the DBI users' group also. Some very slick examples of DBI
programming go across that group.

Subject: DBI for Access
Hello,
I notice there's been some talk about DBI lately. My
appologies if this duplicates anything covered lately.
I need to hook up to an Access database running, of
course, on a win32 system. I am completely new to DBI.
I found a DBD on CPAN for ODBC, but the documentation
attached to it only covered using it with Cygwin. I
would love to put Cygwin on my machine at work, but
wonder if the powers that be would be scandalized. Is
it necessary to use Cygwin to use DBI with Access, or
is it possible to get everything running with
activestate and regular old windows 2000? If so, can
anyone point me to a good source of information on how
to do this?
Thanks,
Alan Hogue
