Maybe, but I got the impression that DBI as as database layer is no so abstract because the developer still has to be aware of what abilities the underlying driver has, meaning I didn't see a way for the programs to determine whether the driver supports transactions for instance. I don't know DBI that much. Maybe I am mistaken. Regards, Manuel Lemos E-mail: mlemos@acm.org URL: http://www.mlemos.e-na.net/ PGP key: finger://mlemos@zeus.ci.ua.pt --
