Excellenet book:

Things I learned:
neat();/neat_list()
bind_parm_inout();
looks_like_number();
Advantages of ODBC over DBI
$dbi->tables();$dbi->table_info(); DBD::ODBC
dbish
dbirpoxy/DBI::Proxyserver
$dbh->{RaiseError}; $dbh->{PrinterError}; $dbh->{ChopBlocks}
Do w/ placeholders
NAME; NAME_uc; NAME_lc; consts for *hash functions
The list goes on...

The moral is the DBI Does lots of stuff, so much stuff that a whole book can be written on it, and keep an excellent ratio of content to verbosity.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
