DbiContrib

API for other Contribs and plugins to use to abstract database accesses

Usage

This Contrib is used to abstract database access from other Contribs.

To configure the default database, goto the Extensions::DbiContrib section of configure (near the end). The {DbiContrib}{DBI_dsn} specifies the "DBI DSN" 'dbi' : {the database type} : {the database name} : {the host}. {DbiContrib}{DBI_username} and {DbiContrib}{DBI_password} need to be a database user that has permission to log in from the host Foswiki is running on.

Other Contribs can specify different DBI DSN's and options.

Installation Instructions

You do not need to install anything in the browser to use this extension. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the extension on the server.

Open configure, and open the "Extensions" section. Use "Find More Extensions" to get a list of available extensions. Select "Install".

If you have any problems, or if the extension isn't available in configure, then you can still install manually from the command-line. See http://foswiki.org/Support/ManuallyInstallingExtensions for more help.
