Hello,
I have in the past queried this mail group regarding the availability
of / interest in a direct PERL RDB module, e.g. DBD::RDB, which would
allow perl to query directly to RDB instead of requiring SQL Services
plus DBD::Oracle.
Other contributors to this channel have expressed interest in such a
module as well. As far as I understand this is on some people's "wish
list" but not yet beyond the concept stage.
I recently spoke with Jean-Fran�ois Pi�ronne, a former contributor to
this channel as well as a former colleague of mine. He has since
swallowed the serpent's bitter fruit, so to speak, and has written an
RDB module for Python.
He has suggested that the port of such a module to PERL might be
relatively easy. Does anyone have any opinion on how complicated, and
desirable, such a port would be? Does everyone who has RDB databases
use the DBD::Oracle module plus SQL Services? We are reluctant to
implementing such a strategy because SQL Services adds a lot of
overhead and is considerably slower than direct RDB.
