Thread: DBD::Pg vs Pg.pm
Are there any significance performance differences between DBD::Pg and going directly to Pg.pm. I wasn't even aware that there was a difference till I recently... The interface difference between the two are drastic.

The main advantage of the DBD module is that it fits into the DBI framework which uses a common interface for many different databases. So if you had a Perl script using a proprietary database through DBI, you could convert it fairly easily to use Postgres (depending on how much non-standard SQL and server-side stuff you were doing). DBI is the "recommended" way to use databases from Perl but Pg.pm works fine AFIAK. -Doug -- Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees. --T. J. Jackson, 1863
