If you want to use DBI then you should get the DBD::Pg driver from CPAN. (Yes, it is on CPAN, even though their index page about DBD modules didn't list it last time I looked.) I need to exactly know the difference between use Pg ; and use DBI ; Need to which one is Pg is a older stand-alone driver; it's not DBI-compatible, and it's got nothing to do with DBD::Pg. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
[HACKERS] Suitable Driver ?
HI I have to setup PERL to interact with PGSQL. I have taken the following steps. 1.Installation of perl_5.6.0 under Redhat Linux 7.0 2.Installation of POSTGRESQL under Redhat Linux7.0 Both are working perfectly as seperate modules. Now I need to interface perl with PGSQL. I need to what's the best possible soln. I have installed latest DBI from www.cpan.org Now i need to install DBD For PGSQL .Is this the driver i have to work on for pgsql ?. Or do I have any other option to connect to pgsql from perl . Indeed i've found out an other way to use Pg driver provided by PGSQL to interface perl with pgsql.

I need to know what these varibles POSTGRES_INCLUDE and POSTGRES_LIB should point to ... and when i tried to run perl test.pl, the program to test the installation of the module which comes with the tar. I get the error OS: linux install_driver(Pg) failed: Can't locate DBD/Pg.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/l ib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i3 86-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at (eval 1) line 3. Perhaps the DBD::Pg perl module hasn't been fully installed, or perhaps the capitalisation of 'Pg' isn't right.
