{"product_id":"9781449315368","title":"Programming the Perl DBI: Database programming with Perl","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the greatest strengths of the Perl programming  language is its ability to manipulate large amounts of data.  Database programming is therefore a natural fit for Perl, not only for  business applications but also for CGI-based web and intranet applications.The primary interface for database programming in Perl is DBI.  DBI is a database-independent package that provides a  consistent set of routines regardless of what database product you  use--Oracle, Sybase, Ingres, Informix, you name it. The design of  DBI is to separate the actual database drivers (DBDs) from the  programmer's API, so any DBI program can work with any database,  or even with multiple databases by different vendors simultaneously.\u003ci\u003eProgramming the Perl DBI\u003c\/i\u003e is coauthored by Alligator Descartes, one  of the most active members of the DBI community, and by Tim Bunce,  the inventor of DBI. For the uninitiated, the book explains the  architecture of DBI and shows you how to write DBI-based programs.  For the experienced DBI dabbler, this book reveals DBI's nuances and  the peculiarities of each individual DBD.The book includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn introduction to DBI and its design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to construct queries and bind parameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking with database, driver, and statement handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDebugging techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoverage of each existing DBD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA complete reference to DBI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eThis is the definitive book for database programming in Perl.","brand":"O'Reilly Media, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134789927152,"sku":"9781449315368","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781449315368_p0.jpg?v=1763828533","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781449315368","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
