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. Mysql.pm is the elder species. +It was written before DBI was available but inspired by an early +draft of the DBI specification. As has been been circulating longer +it are more mature and pretty stable. It is also more complete +than DBD::mysql. |
