[ale] Perl, Linux and MS SQL

[Bryan Mattern]

Randy,

Take a look at FreeTDS.org.  They will enable you to do what you are talking
about, and have Perl hooks.  Their documentation is great and you should
have no trouble getting it installed.  Much faster than ODBC, too.  I have
used it with PHP3, though have had problems w/PHP4.  If anyone knows why, I
would love to know.  I think the problem lies with the sybase interface in
PHP4.

Is it possible? I have to run a MS SQL 7.0 server and want to use 
Perl on a Linux box to interface with it. All the Perl docs I have
found mention DBD::ODBC and some go as far as saying Sybperl should work
however my initial tests have failed. Has anyone here had to implement
this sort of setup and how did it go?

I currently have a Sybase box and both Sybperl and th DBD/DBI modules
work great.

Thanks,

Randy
