Although using DBM files can save a lot of time and space when you are storing a large number of records, you may find that what you really need is a relational database system, like Oracle, Sybase, or MySQL. The next chapter introduces relational databases, specifically MySQL and the way Perl interaces with it. You will learn how to use the DBI module and the methods provided to connect, query, update, and delete entries from the MySQL database.
