+libdbi - Database Independent Abstraction Layer for C
+
+libdbi implements a database-independent abstraction layer in C,
+similar to the DBI/DBD layer in Perl. Writing one generic set
+of code, programmers can leverage the power of multiple databases
+and multiple simultaneous database connections by using this framework.
+
+In order to utilize the libdbi framework, you need to install drivers
+for a particular type of database. The drivers officially supported
+by libdbi are split off into the libdbi-drivers project.
