Chapter 7. The Perl Interface

In this chapter we will look at the Perl interface to SQLite. Databases are accessed from Perl scripts using the Database Interface (DBI) and a Database Driver (DBD) for SQLite. If you have used DBI/DBD to interface Perl with other database systems, much of the procedure to communicate with SQLite will be familiar to you.

This chapter gives an overview of Perl's DBI in general and also details the attributes and methods specific to the SQLite DBD.
