-The DBI interface allows perl programs to use DBD (Database Definition)
-drivers with a common set of routines. A program can then (theoretically)
-change from using mSQL to Oracle (for example) without changing the entire
-program around.
-
-This DBI interface is not yet fully specified. The current development
-work is focused on writing drivers, such as DBD::Oracle, which also
-implement emulations of old perl4 database interfaces, e.g., oraperl.
-This strategy enables the DBI and drivers to serve a useful purpose
-whilst allowing the real interface to evolve with experience behind the
-emulation interface.
