But making dbi:// a default prefix will probably restrict the use of DBURL to only DBI. It is not realistic to think that MySQL and PostgreSQL would implement such a naming scheme, where as the original idea might be accepted. The reason for having the DBMS protocol up front was inspired by: http https ftp news. Here the protocol tells which command and format to send over TCP/IP. As DBI is more like a DBMS-wrapper than a protocol I think it would be logical to people when the DBMS protocol is the prefix. /hans -- Hamletsgade 4 - 201, DK-2200 K�benhavn N, Phone: +45 3582 9079 Schou Industries ApS http://schou.dk/ CVR: 26 13 44 39 -------------------------------------------------------------- De sultne b�rn i Afrika t�nker ogs� p� dig -- �Husk mit navn� (anonym)
