  Description     : DBI library for the Lua language
 Lua DBI s a database interface library for Lua. It is designed to provide a
 RDBMS agnostic API for handling database operations. LuaDBI also provides
 support for prepared statement handles, placeholders and bind parameters for
 all database operations.
 .
 Lua DBI is a better alternative to lua-sql since it supports prepared
 statements.

lua-dbi is a dependency of the prosody jabber server. unfortunately it is not a
drop in replacement for lua-sql, that is still used by other libraries and thus
cannot be removed from the archive.
