<h3>Review</h3>

<p>Chapters 4-6 and the appendices is where I spend most of my time with "Programming the Perl DBI" by Alligator Descartes & Tim Bunce. Those chapters take the reader step by step through the process of creating a connection, performing operations and disconnecting from the database. The appendices add an excellent amount of material explaining the many different drivers and flags for each. Bunce & Descartes keeps the material interesting by basing the examples on Megalithic sites.</p>

<p>Chapters 1-3 are great for beginners in the world of databases and SQL. Chapter 2 is worth skimming for people who are more new to perl than databases. Advanced readers will want to skip directly to Chapter 4. The last two chapters are as needed. The DBD::CSV section in the appendix and snippets of Chapter 2 is useful for me since I ferry data from databases to a menagerie of flat files.</p>

4 stars out of 5<br/>
Great Reference Book<br/>
