The DBI module enables your Perl applications to
access multiple database types transparently. You
can connect to MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, Informix,
Sybase, ODBC, and other database systems without
having to know the different underlying interfaces
of each. The API defined by DBI will work on all
these database types and many more. You can
connect to multiple databases of different types
at the same time and easily move data between
them.
