Anyone got any experience of doing MS SQL Server from mod_perl on Linux (via the FreeTDS drivers)?
Not under mod_perl, but I think the experience is still relevant.
Any gotchas I should be aware of? I have a very high performance requirements application (millions of hits/day) and I need to know the architecture can cope with it (the alternative being PostgreSQL).
Sorry if I mention obvious things, but I know of:
1) lack of placeholders support with DBD::Sybase + Freetds layer. I used freetds 0.53, but 0.61 had the same problem for me.
2) I wasn't able to use sql transactions in the same way I normally do with postgresql/db2/informix/sybase/... This could be due to my fault, SQL server version (?), or other problems I couldn't track down.
