The Father of perl Persistence
summary
Origin and timeline: perl DBI starts as a 1992 idea and first ships in 1994, kept off the core to allow independent releases. Design choices: a lowest-common-denominator API with an escape hatch for vendor extensions, driver-specific attributes prefixed (for example ora_ for Oracle) to avoid clashes, and a rule that features like bulk array execution only become standard after a pure-Perl fallback exists. Ecosystem: the project supports over 30 drivers including Google and Amazon adapters.
