For perl script to connect to database you need a DBD (Database Driver) for that particular data base. Pearl has 2-layers between script and database. DBI, DBD layars. To provide uniform interface to all the databases DBI(Data base Interface) is defined. So you need to write code according to perl::DBI. And you don't need to change it if the database changes. And when you get the DBD for your database use the script. Don't know about Shell Scripts. regards -- Pankaj Jangid NCST, India _______________________________________________ http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
