DBD for SQL Server?
Is there a DBD for SQL Server so that I can connect to our SQL Server 2000 database with DBI? I've hunted all over CPAN but I can't seem to find one. -- Richard S.

You can connect to an MS-SQL server using Win32::ODBC, available at http://search.cpan.org/~gsar/libwin32-0.191/ODBC/ODBC.pm More info - perldoc Win32::ODBC HTH, Alok __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

The advantage of DBD::ODBC (or DBD::ADO ) Is the portability of your code since you Will be using the same api syntax regarless the The database driver (DBD) you are dealing with behind DBI. The connection is always my $dbh=DBI->connect(...); Not a new api like: $Data = new Win32::ODBC(...); Which obviously will not work if you need To use your same code on a database running on unix box.

HTH, José. I've learned that in order to use DBD::ODBC I will still need to install an ODBC driver on the machine (which is actually running Solaris 9).

Go to http://www.openlinksw.com. They will let you download a full working driver, but it has a 30 license. If you need more than 30 days you'll have to redownload the driver and it'll email you another 30 day license. It took us about 6 months of "testing" before we bought the driver for about $600, buti it was well worth it. They'll also give you the iODBC SDK (driver manager) and phone support even if you're evaluating. Lot's of praise on the phone support as they worked with me for 5 days and had a developer helping me as I was having trouble getting it interfaced with mod_perl for some weird reason. Long story short mod_perl was only seeing unixODBC (another driver manager) and so I had use unixODBC instead of iODBC. No biggie, it was tracking this down that was the problem. Hope this helps, Kevin -- Kevin Old <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
