Well, there's DBD::ODBC. DBI is the independent interface, that is, independent of any particular database. On the back end of that, DBD::* modules plug in to provide functionality for each specific database. To see what DBD's are available, you could look here: http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=DBD Hey... there was a new version of DBD::ODBC released 2 days ago! :) But the beauty of it is, you spend all of your time talking to DBI, and don't have to worry about dealing with a different interface to each database. You just have to worry about data source names and SQL dialects, but hey, who said life was fair.
