Data Base
I know how to use a database with perl, but I
don`t know how to go about creating any form of
database it supports. Could someone let me know how to go
about making one in a format that perl
supports?<br><br>Joey Jensen

Generally speaking, you`d need command-line
access to the server on which the database is to reside.
(You CAN do this with scripts and DBI, but it`s such a
bother...)<br><br>Getting in varies greatly by database type. Then it`s a
matter of use SQL such as--<br><br>create table EMPL
(<br> EMPL_NAME char(60),<br> EMPL_ID char(10),<br>
GENDER char(1),<br> AGE number(3));<br><br>etc. It`s
really not a Perl issue...

I doubt I will be able to use command line access
on the server, as few web servers seem to support
this from a remote location. (Although I haven`t
decided on what host to use, either.) <br><br>So how do I
create one using scripts and DBI? (Is DBI database
Initilization?) <br><br>Joey Jensen

If you don`t have command line access and the
database management system already exists, you can use
ODBC (provided your database server exists) and Access
or Query editor or any sort of SQL editor that
allows you to do remote queries to create your database.
However, this is an SQL question.<br><br>DBI stands for
DataBase Interface and works with a DataBase Driver (DBD)
to talk to a database (possibly natively).
