These in-memory tables can be created from any +combination of DBI databases or files of any format. They may also be created +from perl data structures which means it's possible to quickly prototype a +database system without any file access or rdbms backend. + +The module also supports converting files between any of the supported formats +(e.g. save selected data from MySQL or Oracle to an XML file). + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-AnyData/ |
