At present I am using DBD:mysqlPP to connect to MySql
is there any advantages or disadvantages to using mysqlPP compared with mysql ?
Without looking over the modules, I can say this with some certainty -
one is pure Perl (the one with "pp" at the end [snicker
]) and the
other uses the MySQL headers and libraries.
The advantage with using the straight mysql module, IMHO, is you are
using the MySQL native functionality. This *may* be better, depending
upon what you're doing.
However, the pure Perl version *may* be better because it does *not* rely
upon anything else except Perl.
My suggestion is to run some benchmarks against the two modules and see
what you come up with.
Just my $0.02
