Treat Google as a datasource for DBI

[wkw]

Cool link of the day...

http://search.cpan.org/~darren/DBD-Google-0.11/lib/DBD/Google.pm
"DBD::Google allows you to use Google as a datasource; Google can be queried using SQL SELECT statements, and iterated over using standard DBI conventions."

Though I notice it's missing a feature:
INSERT INTO Google VALUES(URL) ("http: //www.acmetech.com /") :cool:

That's cool, I wonder if that can be duplicated in visual basic somehow?

Or my preference, PHP... I'm sure it could be made available to VB or any other language that can talk to ODBC data sources. ODBC drivers simply translate from the ODBC API to the native API of the database you're connecting to. I do hope though that someone will eventually implement the same for Java and PHP.

If you program in any langauge with a SOAP library, you could do all this yourself.
