As a quick example, I want to be able to define my own datatypes inside the DB. I might do something like storing an image and a bunch of metadata about that image in a single blob() vi Storable::freeze(). Then provide some Perl code plugged into the DB that lets me look at the data inside of blob()s in order to query over images at the SQL level. At this point, I can access the DB from any interface I like: JDBC, DBD::mysql, the mysql client, etc. > Regarding procedures, This is something that should be handled by the > rdbms it self and not your middleware. Yep, you're right, but I'm not after middle-ware. I'm after a hook into the RDBMS itself. --- Rodney Broom Programmer: Desert.Net --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
