Re: [NOVICE] pg or DBI

Unless I am mistaken (which actually happens quite often) DBI is the
base modue that perl uses.. the extension of that DBI::Pg (which is
called in the script) is postgres specific. That is what I am using and
I am new to postgres but have been working with perl for 3-4 years and I
have found it very easy to use.

Subject: [NOVICE] pg or DBI

Hi all,

I have used pg to connect to postgres. However, I have seen a lot of
people use DBI. Are there any advantages/disadvantages in using one or
the
other for connecting to postgres via perl. Also, which one is more
widely
used? Thanks for your input.
