Hello,

I doubt DBD::Sybase is the best choice to connect to MS SQL Server. Sybase and SQL Server are "relatives", but have diverged. You may have more luck trying DBD::ODBC. See also http://search.cpan.org/~mjevans/DBD-ODBC-1.52/FAQ#How_do_I_access_a_MS_SQL_Server_database_from_Linux/UNIX?

Hope that helps

Alexander

Dear Experts,

I am new to perl and I really need your help. I need your help for a perl DBD:sybase module i am using.

I am trying to connect to a MS SQL Server from a linux server. Below are the details and the error message.

Request you to let me know how I can fix it. I will provide any more logs which you may require. For now, below are the details.

Thank you very much. Looking forward for your assistance.


Brief Description
I have freetds, DBI and DBD:Sybase installated. When i TSQL to a sql server is works fine, but when i try to connect form a perl script it fails with the error "REquested server name not found". by testing i have noticed it may be using $HOME/interfaces file instead of freetds.conf file.
