RAA - dbi-dbrc/0.3.0

This is a supplement to the dbi module, allowing you to avoid hard-coding
passwords in your programs that make database connections by using a special config file. It's also convenient. :)

Changes for 0.3.0
=================
- Win32 support added. Requires the win32-etc package.
- rd doc separated from source. Moved to 'doc' directory.
- Documentation updates and corrections.
- Minor test suite tweaks for Win32 systems.


Synopsis:

require 'dbi'
require 'dbi/dbrc'
require 'timeout'

db = DBI::DBRC.new("mydb")

#or

db = DBI::DBRC.new("mydb","someUser")

n = db.max_reconn

begin
timeout(db.time_out){
begin
DBI.connect(db.dsn,db.user,db.passwd)
rescue
n -= 1
sleep db.interval if n > 0
retry if n > 0
# handle database connection error
end
}
rescue TimeoutError
# handle timeout error
end
