Hi,
http://tlowery.hypermart.net/perl_dbi_dbd_faq.html
This contains the info on how to setup the dbi proxy solution.
I tried the sybase method today, but had no luck (all the
test-* scripts just core, v annoying). Ive also come to the
conclusion that the entire odbc thing should just be done away
with, why cant someone just standardise a networked sql protocol!!
