The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: HDB DSLIP: RmpOg description: Hybrid DataBase userid: GMPASSOS (Gaciliano Monteiro Passos) chapterid: 7 (Database_Interfaces) communities: hdb.sf.net
similar: doesn't exist rationale: I know that this is for a root module, but this need to be independent of other module, and have a concept different. HDB is an alternative to DBI. The idea is to have a interface to databases that is independent of the database type. You can use Mysql, Oracle, SQLite, and any other type of database, but you don't need to know what DB you are using. You just work with HDB, and all the convertions of SQL syntax and use of resources that one DB has and other not is made automatically. Other thing about the module is that you only need to know Perl to use it, you don't need to learn SQL (or how each DB work with SQL), and everything is based on Perl syntax and commands, inclusing the querys to the DB. For example, I develope a site with HDB, and I test it in my Win2k desktop, using HDB::SQLite, but when I send to the server (Linux) it works with HDB::Mysql, the only thing that I change is in the HDB->new(type=>'sqlite'...) to HDB->new(type=>'mysql'...). HDB make all the convertions of types of columns, and resources. The module is in test stage (during 30 days). I want to test it a lot before publish, and I think that now the 1.0 version is stable. enteredby: GMPASSOS (Gaciliano Monteiro Passos) enteredon: Wed Jan 29 14:11:43 2003 GMT The resulting entry would be: HDB RmpOg Hybrid DataBase GMPASSOS Thanks for registering, The Pause Team PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=d3200000_2c93f9e77c09c52f&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=d3200000_2c93f9e77c09c52f&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
