Friends, This is DBD::DBMaker 0.13. DBD::DBMaker is a driver code that enables Perl 5.003 and 5.004 to access the DBMaker RDBMS via the DBI module (you will need the code for the latest release of DBI and DBD::DBMaker). Tim Bunce's DBI module is *the* standard way to access a number of different databases from perl. DBMAKER is one of the few SQL/ODBC databases engines available for Linux and for other UNIX and non-UNIX platforms. This version fixes some bugs and DBI compliance problems: IMPORTANT fix: Minor fixes: Tested using * RedHat Linux perl5.005_03 DBMaker 3.5 * WinNT 4.0 DBMaker Server 3.5 for WinNT DBMaker 3.5 development system MS VC 5.0 perl5.5.005_03 The source of DBD::DBMaker is available from http://www.dbmaker.com/ or from CPAN (authors/id/DBMAKER/DBD-DBMaker-0.13.tar.gz) (not yet) You will also need: * Perl (of course!), Version 5.003 or better * the most recent DBI driver module (currently V 1.06) * the DBMaker development system * a DBMaker database server Information about the DBMaker database can be found via http://www.dbmaker.com/ or http://www.dbmaker.com.tw Enjoy!! dbmaker@lion.syscom.com.tw
