Hi David, it can't out of the box, but as far as I understand you could still trick libdbi in thinking these are separate drivers. Please have a look at the driver source (libdbi-drivers/drivers/pgsql/dbd_pgsql.c). There's a structure called driver_info around line 59. The first member is the internal name of the driver. It should be possible to build one of your drivers with a different internal name, say pgsql-904, and use that name in your application to reference this particular version of the driver. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ uberSVN's rich system and user administration capabilities and model configuration take the hassle out of deploying and managing Subversion and the tools developers use with it.
