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. AUTHOR Mark A.
