No, it wouldn't load any handlers at all unless explicitly told to do so. It's just that if you ask it to load handlers for a particular column type and then don't say which module you want to use for that purpose, DBI would use some default module. IOW, existing code that uses DBI would have no additional overhead and no change in functionality because none of it use()s DBI::ColumnHandlers (or whatever it's called) at all. -John
