Stop me if this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find it in DBI::FAQ at
http://dbi.symbolstone.org/doc/faq.html
nor in the Pirate(:-) FAQ at
http://tlowery.hypermart.net/perl_dbi_dbd_faq.html
Are there any plans to extend the DBI interface with methods for
discovering what databases are accessible from a driver, what tables
exist in a database and/or what columns make up a table? It's
bothering me that a Java-oriented friend of mine is able to do these
things with JDBC, but I don't seem to be able to them in DBI.
Thanks in advance.
