    5   1) mysqlwdb currently works ONLY with MySQL.
    6      
    7      Anyway, it's designed to work (in some future(?) version) with all the
    8      DBMS that are supported by the DBI standard (i.e. that have a DBI 
    9      compliant driver: a DBD.  Search on http://search.cpan.org for details). 
   10      
   11      If you are able to write new code to support others DMBS, change the 
   12      $DBI_driver variable according to your DBMS and set the $mysql_specific 
   13      variable to 0.
   14 
   15      mysqlwdb works properly with at least MySQL 3.21 releases.
   16      With MySQL 3.20.* mysqlwdb is not able to create or change records due
   17      to a different "LOCK TABLES" syntax of that old release of MySQL.
   18   
   19   
   20   2) mysqlwdb has been created and tested on a Linux Slackware 7.0 
   21      environment with:
   22   	
   23   	a) Perl 5.005_03
   24   	b) DBI 1.02
   25   	c) Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2007
   26   	d) MySQL Ver 9.16 Distrib 3.21.33c
   27   	
   28   	(with Apache 1.3.9 and Netscape Communicator 4.76)
   29   	
   30   	Anyway, it should work on every system having the packages above 
   31   	( from a) to d) ), same or higher version.
   32   	
   33      I have also successfully tested and developed mysqlwdb on
   34 
   35 	a) Windows95 OSR2 with:
   36 
   37   		i)   Perl 5.005_03 binary build 522 from Activestate
   38   		ii)  DBI 1.14
   39   		iii) DBD-mysql ppm 2.04.1
   40   		iv)  MySQL Ver 11.6 Distrib 3.23.28-gamma (and also 3.23.37)
   41 
   42   		(with both Netscape Communicator 4.76 and Microsoft IExplorer 5.5,
   43 	  	and Microweb as web server: http://www.indigostar.com/microweb.htm)
   44 
   45 	b) Windows98SE with:
   46 
   47   		i)   Perl 5.6.1 binary build 629 from Activestate
   48   		ii)  DBI 1.14
   49   		iii) DBD-mysql ppm 2.0400
   50   		iv)  MySQL Ver 11.15 Distrib 3.23.43
   51 
   52   		(with both Netscape Communicator 4.78 and Microsoft IExplorer 5.5SP2,
   53 	  	and Microweb as web server: http://www.indigostar.com/microweb.htm)
   54 
   55 	c) Linux Slackware 8.0 with:
   56 
   57   		i)   Perl 5.6.1
   58   		ii)  DBI 1.20
   59   		iii) DBD-mysql 2.0902
   60   		iv)  MySQL Ver 11.15 Distrib 3.23.43
   61 
   62   		(with Netscape Communicator 4.77 and Apache 1.3.20)
   63 
   64 	d) Windows XP Pro:
   65 
   66   		i)   Perl 5.6.1 binary build 633 from Activestate
   67   		ii)  DBI 1.23
   68   		iii) DBD-mysql ppm 2.0400
   69   		iv)  MySQL Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.51
   70 
   71   		(with Netscape Communicator 6.2, IE 6, Opera 6 and Apache 1.3.26, IIS 5.1)
   72 
   73   3) In order to use mysqlwdb properly (to update and to delete records,
   74      no problems with insert and select operations) with MySQL,
   75      **every table you manage MUST have AT LEAST one unique primary key field in place**
   76 
   77 
   78   4) mysqlwdb works properly with tables and fields *names*
   79 
   80   	a) WITHOUT spaces
   81   	b) WITHOUT @ characters
   82   	b) WITHOUT # characters
   83 
   84      I know that MySQL does NOT accept spaces or @/# in tables and fields
   85      names.
   86 
   87      If I am wrong and if you want to use @/# characters in tables and/or
   88      fields names please change the $delimiter and $pri_key_delimiter variables,
   89      with characters that does NOT appear in your tables/fields (NOT spaces).
