Thread: Perl DBI Drivers
Are Perl DBI drivers available for using DBI::DBD to interface with PostgreSQL? The only ones I found seem to be rather old as they reference RedHat 5.0 and Postgres95. I looked at the Pg.pm module from postgresql-perl-7.1.2-5PGDG.i386.rpm but it didn't appear to support DBI::DBD. It looks like good code, but since all of our code was written using DBI::DBD interfaces, it would require a lot of re-coding to utilize a different interface paradigm.

Thank you for the pointer. I found exactly what I needed. In case anyone's interested, I found it at: http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/DBD/ Specifically it was DBD-Pg-1.01.tar.gz -Chuck > Hi, > > Have you checked out CPAN or the DBI websites?

I have used DBI drivers for postgres abotu 6 months ago. I dont recall the version but the postgres version was 6.5. I got them from CPAN. A quick look at my local CPAN mirror and it had this: http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/CPAN/authors/id/M/ME/MERGL/DBD-Pg-1.01.readme Take off the file name and you will see teh relevant tarball. The readme says it needs at least postgres 6.5 so it is probably worth a try. Pg package is for directly conenctiong to postgres, so is nto as poratable as DBI.
