DBD::mysql is built upon the DBI, the -generic Perl Database Interface. It brings you an identical interface -to a broad variety of databases and is in this regard comparable to -ODBC. The advantage of the DBI approach is portability and -interoperability. Msql.pm is the elder species. It was written before -DBI was available but it was inspired by an early draft of the DBI -specification. As it has been circulating longer it is more mature and -pretty stable. It's also more complete than DBD::mysql. - -Some day in the future DBD::mysql will probably be the clearly superior -competitor in this package. Today you have to decide on your own about -the trade-offs. |
