I take it from your tone that your script works now? :-) DBI (I assume that's what you mean by "installing DBD", because there is no "DBD" module as such) provides the top-level database access mechanism. But it doesn't contain any information about specific databases, so you need to install a driver for each type of database you want to access: DBD::mysql for MySQL, DBD::Pg for PostgreSQL, etc. DBI uses the DBD-level drivers to communicate with specific types of database servers. > >Jerry > >Paul DuBois wrote: > >> At 13:33 -0500 9/22/02, Gerald Preston wrote: >> >David, >> > >> >I am not getting any where..........
