Perl DBI

IBM® Data Server product supports the Perl database Interface (DBI) specification for data access through the DBD:DB2 driver.

Perl is an interpreted language and the Perl DBI Module uses dynamic SQL. These properties make Perl an ideal language for quickly creating and revising DB2® applications. The Perl DBI Module uses an interface that is similar to the CLI and JDBC interfaces, which makes it easy to port Perl applications to CLI and JDBC, or to port CLI and JDBC applications to Perl.
