Module Dbi.Factory

module Factory: sig  end

val connect : string ->
       ?host:string ->
       ?port:string -> ?user:string -> ?password:string -> string -> Dbi.connection

Connect to a specific type of database. The first string parameter is the database type, eg. "postgres", "mysql", etc.

Raises Invalid_argument if the database type is not known. May throw other connection-specific SQL errors.

val database_types : unit -> string list

Returns a list of registered database types.

val register : string ->
       (?host:string ->
        ?port:string -> ?user:string -> ?password:string -> string -> Dbi.connection) ->
       unit

Specific database drivers register themselves on load (or Dynlink) by calling this function. The first argument is the database type (usually the name of the database engine) and the second is the connection function.
