Up to you. Here's the list: http://search.cpan.org/author/TIMB/DBI/Changes The most significant change for most people would be the performance increase for fetchall_arrayref and selectall_arrayref (fetching 20000 rows from MySQL using those methods is now about twice as fast). They also now take a row count limit so can be used to fetch rows in batches. The selectrow_array and selectrow_arrayref methods are also faster but you'd probably only notice if you call them thousands of times. Another significant addition is DBI::Profile. Well worth trying out. Then there's also $sth->{ParamValues} (if your driver supports it) being included in the ShowErrorStatement part of error messages. And a whole bunch of other stuff... Tim
