AddressBook::DB::DBI(3User Contributed Perl DocumentatiAddressBook::DB::DBI(3)

NAME
       AddressBook::DB::DBI - Backend for AddressBook to use in	databases

SYNOPSIS
	 use AddressBook;
	 $a = AddressBook->new(source => "DBI:CSV:f_dir=/tmp/csv",
			       table=>"a_csv",
			       );

DESCRIPTION
       The DBI perl library module is required in order	to use this package.

       AddressBook::DB::DBI supports both sequential and random	access backend
       database	methods.

       The DBI backend has so far only been tested against the CSV database
       driver.

       AddressBook::DB::DBI behavior can be modified using the following
       options:

       table
	   Required parameter

       key_fields
	   A list of DBI field names (not cannonical names) which can be used
	   to uniquely identify	a database record.

       dsn See constructor details below

   new
       The database driver and driver arguments	may be specified in in the
       constructor in one of two ways:

       1.  As part of the "source" parameter, for example:

	     $a	= AddressBook->new(source => "DBI:CSV:f_dir=/tmp/csv",
				   table=>"a_csv",
				   );

       2.  In a	"dsn" parameter, for example:

	     $a	= AddressBook->new(source => "DBI",
				   dsn=>"CSV:f_dir=/tmp/csv",
				   table=>"a_csv",
				   );

	   Like	all AddressBook	database constructor parameters, the "dsn" and
	   "table" may also be specified in the	configuration file.

   Timestamps
       For syncronization purposes, all	records	are timestamped	depending on
       the database driver type:

       CSV All records are timestamped with the	modification data of the CSV
	   file.
