[[DBD::ODBC for MySQL V 5 under MS Windows]]
These notes refer to ~MySQL V 5.0.45 and ~MySQL Connector ODBC V 3.51.19.

When installing ~MySQL, a dialog asks for a password. The user corresponding to this password is 'root'. Assume the value of this password is 'serverpassword'. Make a note of this username/password pair. Also: All single quotes herein are just for clarity. Don't type them in.

After installing the Connector, use Start/Settings/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Data Sources (ODBC) to define a Data Source Name (DSN). The menu sequence just given is for ~WinXP. Other versions of Windows will be slightly different.

Choose System DSN rather than User DSN when creating a new DSN. System ~DSNs are visible to all users. A User DSN will only be visible to the user defining the DSN. This means, for instance, that if a web server running under a special user runs a CGI script, that CGI script will not have access to User ~DSNs other than those defined by that special user.

For your new DSN, create one of type ~MySQL (this is just a sample for testing):
* Call the DSN 'my-dsn', say
* There is no default server, so specify 'localhost'
* There is no default database, so specify 'mysql'
* The default username is 'root1'. Enter 'root'
* The default password is empty. Enter 'serverpassword'
* There is no default character set, so try 'latin1'
* Test the connection by clicking the button. Presumably it works...
* Save the DSN and test it from Perl, but be warned. The username and password in the Perl code to generate a database handle, , are discarded (sic) by ~MySQL Connector. That's why they need to be explicitly specified as below:
{{{
$dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:ODBC:my-dsn', $username, $password)
}}}
Once you can connect from Perl, you can run mysql.exe to create new databases and (~MySQL) users. Let's create a database called 'modules', for the username/password combination 'a.username'/'a.password', all of which will be used later in a new DSN:
From the command line: 
{{{
mysql -uroot -p mysql
(Enter 'serverpassword' when prompted)
mysql> create database modules;
mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to 'a.username'@'localhost' identified by 'a.password' with grant option;
mysql> \q
}}}
Now you can return to define a corresponding DSN, and to delete that sample DSN my-dsn.
To quote Tim Bunce, the architect and author of DBI:



{{{
"DBI is a database access Application Programming Interface (API)
for the Perl Language. The DBI API Specification defines a set of 
functions, variables and conventions that provide a consistent 
database interface independant of the actual database being used."
}}}

In simple language, the DBI interface allows users to access multiple database types transparently. So, if you connecting to an Oracle, Informix, mSQL, Sybase or whatever database, you don't need to know the underlying mechanics of the 3GL layer. The API defined by DBI will work on all these database types.

A similar benefit is gained by the ability to connect to two different databases of different vendor within the one perl script, ie, I want to read data from an Oracle database and insert it back into an Informix database all within one program. The DBI layer allows you to do this simply and powerfully.

~DBperl is the old name for the interface specification. It's usually now used to denote perl4 modules on database interfacing, such as, oraperl, isqlperl, ingperl and so on. These interfaces didn't have a standard API and are generally not supported.

Here's a list of ~DBperl modules, their corresponding DBI counterparts and support information. Please note, the author's listed here generally do not maintain the DBI module for the same database. These email addresses are unverified and should only be used for queries concerning the perl4 modules listed below. DBI driver queries should be directed to the dbi-users mailing list.

| !Module Name | !Database Required | !Author | !DBI |
|Sybperl|Sybase |Michael Peppler <mpeppler@itf.ch> |DBD::Sybase|
|Oraperl|Oracle 6 & 7 |Kevin Stock <dbi-users@perl.org>|DBD::Oracle|
|Ingperl|Ingres|Tim Bunce & Ted Lemon <dbi-users@perl.org>|DBD::Ingres|
|Interperl|Interbase|Buzz Moschetti <buzz@bear.com>|DBD::Interbase|
|Uniperl|Unify 5.0|Rick Wargo <rickers@coe.drexel.edu>|None|

|Cisamperl|Informix ~C-ISAM|Mathias Koerber mathias@unicorn.swi.com.sg>|None|
|Duaperl|X.500 Directory  User Agent|Eric Douglas|None|

However, some DBI modules have DBperl emulation layers, so, DBD::Oracle comes with an Oraperl emulation layer, which allows you to run legacy oraperl scripts without modification. The emulation layer translates the oraperl API calls into DBI calls and executes them through the DBI switch.

Here's a table of emulation layer information:

| !Module | !Emulation Layer | !Status |
|DBD::Oracle|Oraperl|Complete|
|DBD::Informix|Isqlperl|Under development|
|DBD::Ingres|Ingperl|Complete?|
|DBD::Sybase|Sybperl|Working? ( Needs verification )|
|DBD::mSQL|Msqlperl|Experimentally released with DBD::mSQL-0.61|

The Msqlperl emulation is a special case. Msqlperl is a perl5 driver for mSQL databases, but does not conform to the DBI Specification. It's use is being deprecated in favour of DBD::mSQL. Msqlperl may be downloaded from CPAN via:

http://www.perl.com/cgi-bin/cpan_mod?module=Msqlperl
}}}
There are a few information sources on DBI.

//"Programming the Perl DBI"//

    "Programming the Perl DBI" is the official book on the DBI written by Alligator Descartes and Tim Bunce and published by O'Reilly & Associates. The book was released on February 9th, 2000.

The book should be available from all good bookshops and can be ordered online either via O'Reilly & Associates

{{{
        http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perldbi

//POD documentation//

~PODs are chunks of documentation usually embedded within perl programs that document the code //in place//, providing a useful resource for programmers and users of modules. POD for DBI and drivers is beginning to become more commonplace, and documentation for these modules can be read with the perldoc program included with Perl.

''The DBI Specification''

The POD for the DBI Specification can be read with the:
{{{
        perldoc DBI
}}}

        command. The Specification also forms Appendix A of "Programming the Perl DBI".
    
''Oraperl''

Users of the Oraperl emulation layer bundled with DBD::Oracle, may read up on how to program with the Oraperl interface by typing:

{{{
            perldoc Oraperl
}}}

This will produce an updated copy of the original oraperl man page written by Kevin Stock for perl4. The oraperl API is fully listed and described there.

''Drivers''

Users of the DBD modules may read about some of the private functions and quirks of that driver by typing:

{{{
        perldoc <driver>
}}}

For example, the DBD::mSQL driver is bundled with driver-specific documentation that can be accessed by typing

{{{
        perldoc DBD::mSQL
}}}

''Frequently Asked Questions''

This document, the Frequently Asked Questions is also available as POD documentation! You can read this on your own system by typing:

{{{
        perldoc DBI::FAQ
}}}
   
This may be more convenient to persons not permanently, or conveniently, connected to the Internet. The DBI::FAQ module should be downloaded and installed for the more up-to-date version.

The version of DBI::FAQ shipped with the DBI module may be slightly out of date.

''POD in general''

Information on writing POD, and on the philosophy of POD in general, can be read by typing:

{{{
        perldoc perlpod
}}}

Users with the Tk module installed may be interested to learn there is a Tk-based POD reader available called tkpod, which formats POD in a convenient and readable way. This is available via CPAN as the module called Tk::POD and is highly recommended.

''Driver and Database Characteristics''

The driver summaries that were produced for Appendix B of "Programming the Perl DBI" are available online at:

{{{
        http://dbi.perl.org/
        http://www.symbolstone.org/technology/perl/DBI
}}}

in the driver information table. These summaries contain standardised information on each driver and database which should aid you in selecting a database to use. It will also inform you quickly of any issues within drivers or whether a driver is not fully compliant with the DBI Specification.

''Rambles, Tidbits and Observations''

{{{
        http://dbi.perl.org/tidbits
        http://www.symbolstone.org/technology/perl/DBI/tidbits
}}}

There are a series of occasional rambles from various people on the DBI mailing lists who, in an attempt to clear up a simple point, end up drafting fairly comprehensive documents. These are quite often varying in quality, but do provide some insights into the workings of the interfaces.

''Articles''

 A list of articles discussing the DBI can be found on the DBI WWW page at:

{{{
        http://dbi.perl.org/
        http://www.symbolstone.org/technology/perl/DBI
}}}

These articles are of varying quality and age, from the original Perl Journal article written by Alligator and Tim, to more recent debacles published online from about.com.
README files

The README files included with each driver occasionally contains some useful information ( no, really! ) that may be pertinent to the user. Please read them. It makes our worthless existences more bearable. These can all be read from the main DBI WWW page at:

{{{
        http://dbi.perl.org/
        http://www.symbolstone.org/technology/perl/DBI
}}}

''Mailing List Archives''

//US Mailing List Archives//

{{{
        http://outside.organic.com/mail-archives/dbi-users/
}}}

Searchable hypermail archives of the three mailing lists, and some of the much older traffic have been set up for users to browse.

//European Mailing List Archives//

{{{
        http://www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de/mailing-lists/PerlDB-Interest
}}}
   
As per the US archive above.
There are three DBI mailing lists:
![[dbi-announce@perl.org|http://lists.cpan.org/showlist.cgi?name=dbi-announce]]
This is a very low traffic list (typically well under one email per week) just for announcements of new releases and significant issues. All DBI users should be subscribed to it.
![[dbi-users@perl.org|http://lists.cpan.org/showlist.cgi?name=dbi-users]]
This mailing list is the heart of the DBI user community. There are typically over two thousand users subscribed, ranging from novices to experienced users and driver developers. Typically there are just a few messages each day. Messages are on-topic and the list is widely regarded as being of very high quality. It's a great way to learn about the DBI and, as you learn from the list and your own experience, you can help others along their path.

This is the place to ask for help [[smartly|http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html]].
![[dbi-dev@perl.org|http://lists.cpan.org/showlist.cgi?name=dbi-dev]]
This list is for developers who work on the source code of the DBI and drivers. Questions about installation issues or usage of the DBI or drivers should be posted to dbi-users, //not// here. 
!Here's a list of drivers for the DBI

[[Welcome to the DBI FAQ]]
You're welcome to edit this FAQ to add your own notes. It uses [[TiddlyWiki|http://www.tiddlywiki.com/]] so the FAQ runs in your browser using ~JavaScript.

Before your first edit, click on 'options>' on the right and give yourself a username that'll be used to sign your edits.

To edit an entry (known as a 'tiddler') just click the 'edit' button to the right of the title, make your changes, then click on 'done'. Simple.

For help with formatting see http://tiddlyspot.com/twhelp/ especially the Formatting Tiddlers section, and http://nothickmanuals.info/doku.php/cheatsheets.

To create new entries it's best to edit an existing one first, to add in a link to your about-to-be-created entry. Click on 'done' and then click on your new link. Please take a moment to think about good names for new entries and good places to link from.

Your changes only alter the local copy of the FAQ document in the memory of your web browser. To save your changes you need to either upload it (see below) or save the page to a local file (use 'Save As' in your browsers File menu, and make sure the file has a .html extension).

To share your DBI knowledge, and avoid your changes getting out of sync, you'll need to upload your modified FAQ. We're not giving out the direct upload password widely for now because there's little revision control and there's a risk of concurrent edits being lost. So, after making your changes, just "Save As" this document to a file and send it to RobertHicks or myself TimBunce.


See also [[Welcome to Tiddlyspot]] and GettingStarted
The [[DBI Home Page|http://dbi.perl.org]] offers a general overview of DBI related information, the [[Perl Monks|http://perlmonks.org]] web site is a great place to learn more about perl and perl modules like DBI, but the [[DBI Mailing Lists]] are the primary source of help for specific problems with the DBI or drivers.

Wherever you go to ask for more help, be sure to ask [[Smart Questions|http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html]].
To get started with this blank TiddlyWiki, you'll need to modify the following tiddlers:
* SiteTitle & SiteSubtitle: The title and subtitle of the site, as shown above (after saving, they will also appear in the browser title bar)
* MainMenu: The menu (usually on the left)
* DefaultTiddlers: Contains the names of the tiddlers that you want to appear when the TiddlyWiki is opened
You'll also need to enter your username for signing your edits: <<option txtUserName>>
Look at these example code pieces. In this example, ORCL is the database connect descriptor.

{{{
use strict;
use DBI;
my $dbh = DBI->connect( 'dbi:Oracle:orcl','scott','tiger',)
    || die "Database connection not made: $DBI::errstr";
$dbh->disconnect;
}}}

... or with additional connect options:

{{{
use strict;
use DBI;
my $dbh = DBI->connect( 'dbi:Oracle:orcl','scott','tiger',
    { 
        RaiseError => 1, 
        AutoCommit => 0 
    }
) || die "Database connection not made: $DBI::errstr";
$dbh->disconnect;
}}}

This example connects to two databases simultaneously:

{{{
my $dbh1 = DBI->connect( "dbi:Oracle:ORCL1", "scott", "tiger" )
    or die "Can't connect to 1st Oracle database: $DBI::errstr\n";

my $dbh2 = DBI->connect( "dbi:Oracle:ORCL2", "scott", "tiger" )
    or die "Can't connect to 2nd Oracle database: $DBI::errstr\n";

$dbh1->disconnect or warn "DB1 disconnection failed: $DBI::errstr\n";
$dbh2->disconnect or warn "DB2 disconnection failed: $DBI::errstr\n";
}}}
 Some wisdom of this dark art has been distilled into: [[ DBD Driver Voodoo|http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?DBI::DBD]]
If you are installing DBI on a UNIX like system you can do the following to install the DBI module:
{{{
perl -MCPAN -e install DBI
}}}
Or from within the cpan shell started with "perl -MCPAN -e shell" or "cpan" ^^[1]^^:
{{{
cpan> install DBI
}}}
^^[1]^^ Starting with the 5.8 series, Perl installs a "cpan" command so you don't have to use the "perl -MCPAN -e shell" command.
The DBI source code can be downloaded as a gzipped tar file from [[search.cpan.org|http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI]]

Once you have downloaded the 'tar ball' then the typical command sequence on unix-like systems would be:
{{{
tar xfz DBI-1.XX.tar.gz
cd DBI-1.XX
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
}}}
Then delete the source directory tree since it's no longer needed.

If you're using Windows then you probably want to [[Install DBI using PPM]] instead.
The DBI source code is maintained using Subversion (see http://subversion.tigris.org/). To access the source you'll need to install a Subversion client. Then, to get the source code, do:
{{{
svn checkout http://svn.perl.org/modules/dbi/trunk
}}}
If it prompts for a //username// and //password// use your perl.org account if you have one, else just 'guest' and 'guest'. The source code will be in a new subdirectory called trunk.

@@TODO: describe how to install from the source@@

To keep informed about changes to the source you can send an empty email to @@svn-commit-modules-dbi-subscribe@perl.org@@ after which you'll get an email with the change log message and diff of each change checked-in to the source.

Since you've installed using Subversion then you're probably interested in [[Patching the Source]].
If you are using the ActiveState version of Perl then you can install the DBI using the PPM utility:

From a command prompt:
{{{
ppm install DBI
}}}
Or start the PPM shell^^[1]^^ and enter the command:
{{{
install DBI
}}}
^^[1]^^ The latest version of PPM from Activestate includes a graphical user interface to their ppm repository. If you use this gui then installing the DBI is simple a matter of searching, selecting and installing the DBI module.
You have several options for fetching and installing DBI:

You can [[Install DBI from CPAN]], which is what most people do.

If you're using ~ActiveState's perl you can [[Install DBI using PPM]].

If you want to stay on the //bleading edge//, or submit patches, then you should [[Install DBI from Subversion]].

Last but not least, you can [[Install DBI from Source]].
[[Installing DBI]]
[[Using DBI]]

[[Get More Help]]
[[Editing This FAQ]]
First you need to [[Install DBI from Subversion]].

After making your changes you can generate a patch file, but before you do, make sure your source is still upto date using:
{{{
svn update
}}}
If you get any conflicts reported you'll need to fix them first. Then generate the patch file from within the trunk directory using:
{{{
svn diff > foo.patch
}}}
Read the patch file, as a sanity check, and then email it to @@dbi-dev@perl.org@@.

Thank you!
If you would like me to add your content instead of you directly editing the wiki send you work to the following:  //sigzero@gmail.com//
ShowErrorStatement just adds information to the message produced by [[RaiseError]] and [[PrintError]].

{{{
I recommend RaiseError. 
I recommend ShowErrorStatement.
I don't recommend "or die ...", generally.
If you're using RaiseError then "or die ..." is redundant.
If you're not using RaiseError then ShowErrorStatement is redundant
(unless PrintError is on).

Hopefully that helps.
