Msql.pm and DBD::mSQL implement two different approaches to
|
|
communicate with an mSQL server. DBD::mSQL is built upon the DBI, the
|
|
generic Perl Database Interface. It brings you an identical interface
|
|
to a broad variety of databases and is in this regard comparable to
|
|
ODBC. The advantage of the DBI approach is portability and
|
|
interoperability. Msql.pm is the elder species. It was written before
|
|
DBI was available but it was inspired by an early draft of the DBI
|
|
specification. As it has been circulating longer it is more mature and
|
|
pretty stable. It's also more complete than DBD::mSQL.
|
|
|
|
Some day in the future DBD::mSQL will probably be the clearly superior
|
|
competitor in this package. Today you have to decide on your own about
|
|
the trade-offs.
