A quick look at the source shows lots of references to the DBD::ODBC namespace so you will need to search and replace within the ODBC.pm file, looking for the string DBD::ODBC. I suppose you should also change the Name attribute for the driver handle (line 42 of $DBD::ODBC::VERSION = '0.28'). I

Yes Oliver, this is my understanding of the issue. As long as we're talking specfics, this is a ODBC API for RedBrick, an IBM product formerly Informix (no DBD-Infomix isn't for the DBMS). I actually did try iODBC first, but was unsuccessful. Upon asking on the RedBrick list I was contacted

RE: Mutiple ODBC APIs?

2002-02-01 Thread Jeff Urlwin
The easiest way to do that is to compile DBD::ODBC to use a driver manager such as unixODBC or iODBC, depending upon your platform, etc. The driver manager, through odbc.ini or other config files, will "talk" directly to the drivers. It soulds like you have built DBD::ODBC to connect directly to
