Database Handle Attributes

This section describes attributes specific to database handles.

Changes to these database handle attributes do not affect any other existing or future database handles.

Attempting to set or get the value of an unknown attribute is fatal, except for private driver-specific attributes (which all have names starting with a lowercase letter).

For example:

$h->{AutoCommit} = ...;       # set/write
... = $h->{AutoCommit};       # get/read
