No, you're confusing it with dblink, which is Postgres-specific. dbi-link relies on the Perl DBI layer, so it should be able to talk to anything for which you can find a DBD driver. It's a completely different programming model though, and doesn't expose as much flexibility as dblink does. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
