howdy...
new to the list and will likely see plenty that will help; but here's
something specific to my explorations now.
I'm doing some development and testing for production and have pretty well
decided Perl-Perl/Tk and Berkeley DB
will best serve my purpose. This after exploring the DBI with DB2 (DBI is
fine, but DB2 is overkill for many reasons),
and other 'SQL'-like DBs/interfaces.
Here's the difficulty: finding Perl-specific info/guide (ie more than
Perl's BerkeleyDB mod papers) to help me under-
stand the techniques and functions I'll need to write (or crib from CPAN)
for the several kinds of record updates I need
to perform. Sleepycat docs repeatedly mention BDB's ability to handle
'insert, delete, update recs' but I can't find
a darn thing that explicitly and broadly says anything about updating recs,
which is my main concern. The Perl/DBI
book touches on using Berkeley DB to a minor degree but with using DB_File
for 1.85. It's a start but I'm running out
of places to look to find more info. Anybody know of anything? I've been
through all the links at the Perl sites I know
about. I'd be grateful for any steerage. Thank
