Thesaurus::DBI 0.01

Thesaurus::DBI is a Perl module that can store and query synonyms (Thesaurus) in an SQL database.

SYNOPSIS

use Thesaurus::DBI;

# create new database connection
my $th = new Thesaurus::DBI(dbhost=> 'localhost', dbname=>'thesaurus',dbuser=>'user',dbpassword=>'pass');

# use existing database connection
my $th = new Thesaurus::DBI(dbhandle => $dbi, dbname=>'thesaurus',dbuser=>'user',dbpassword=>'pass');

# initialize database
$th->create_tables();

# query thesaurus
my @synonyms = $th->find('synonym');

# add synonyms
$th->add(['word', 'synonym']);

# delete word
$th->delete('word');

This subclass of Thesaurus implements persistence by using an SQL database.
This module requires the DBI module from CPAN. To use it with certain database servers, the corresponding database drivers are needed, too. (Mysql -> DBD::mysql)

Please note, that database servers like MySQL doesn't take care of case-sensitivity. So the queries to the thesaurus-database wil all bei case-insensitive.
