NAME

DBIx::MyServer::DBI - Perl server that speaks the MySQL protocol and then executes the received queries via DBI

SYNOPSIS

Please see the examples/dbi.pl file for a working demonstration

DESCRIPTION

This module inherits from DBIx::MyServer and allows one to create a "fake" MySQL server that accepts queries, which are then forwarded to another server via DBI. The query results are then sent back to the client.

This module serves as an example on how to create useful DBIx::MyServer servers and can be used to make any DBI data source available to applications which can connect to or import from a MySQL data source, which includes all ODBC-enabled applications.

Please note that if you fork() children, you will need an individual DBI handle for each one. You can obtain such a handle by calling clone() on the parent DBI handle. A new database connection will probably be established for each clone.
