Hello Markus,
How is libdbi different from, say odbc?
I've never used ODBC, but from what I read I'd say the main differences
are the footprint and the scope. libdbi is language-specific (C),
lightweight, and allows you to do simple things in a simple fashion.
However, you're still required to handle database engine specific stuff
in your code to use more advanced SQL features. ODBC seems to
encapsulate all and everything, at the price of being huge.
regards,
Markus
ODBC is a proprietary name for the ANSI Standard SQL/CLI, the computer
language interface to SQL. Other computer language interfaces to SQL
databases are less cumbersome having not been designed by a standards
committee.
