 Description: Perl5 database interface to the MySQL database
- DBD::mysql implements the standard Perl5 DBI interface
- to give you access to MySQL databases.
+ DBD::mysql is the Perl5 Database Interface driver for the MySQL
+ database. In other words: DBD::mysql is an interface between the Perl
+ programming language and the MySQL programming API that comes with the
+ MySQL relational database management system. Most functions provided by
+ this programming API are supported. Some rarely used functions are
+ missing, mainly because noone ever requested them. However supported
+ features include: compression of data between server and client; timeouts;
+ SSL; prepared statement support; server administration such as creating
+ and dropping databases and restarting the serverl; auto-reconnection;
+ utf8; bind type guessing; bind comment placeholders; automated insert ids;
+ transactions; multiple result sets and multithreading.
