Dear Tim, Is there yet an outline spec for DBI2? Do you have any even tentative release dates for such a thing? Is it something that might happen in 2006, or is it something that might gel in 2007, or is it longer term than that? Similarly for the DBDI - which is I think the underlying interface to the database drivers. I've been asked about this at work - and said there was not much activity on the lists. -- Jonathan Leffler <jonathan.leffler@gmail.com> #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix - v2005.02 - http://dbi.perl.org "I don't suffer from insanity - I enjoy every minute of it."
