1 This module provides methods for retrieving and storing data in
2 SQL databases. It provides methods for all of the more important
3 SQL commands (like SELECT, INSERT, REPLACE, UPDATE, DELETE).
5 It endeavors to produce an interface that will be intuitive to
6 those already familiar with SQL.
8 Notable features include:
10 * data_source generation for some DBD drivers.
11 * Can check to make sure the connection is not stale and reconnect
13 * Controls statement handles for you.
15 * Generates complex where clauses from hashes and arrays.
16 * Shortcuts (convenience functions) for some common cases. (Like
17 select_all_to_hashref.)
