It provides methods for all of the more important +SQL commands (like SELECT, INSERT, REPLACE, UPDATE, DELETE). + +It endeavors to produce an interface that will be intuitive to +those already familiar with SQL. + +Notable features include: + + * data_source generation for some DBD drivers. + * Can check to make sure the connection is not stale and reconnect + if it is. + * Controls statement handles for you. + * Can delay writes. + * Generates complex where clauses from hashes and arrays. + * Shortcuts (convenience functions) for some common cases.
