Hi,
I am trying to talk to a AcuCobol database running on Linux. (It is actually
a Vision database.) We have purchased a ODBC server for it. We can access
the the DB via ODBC client we also got from them. We can see the data
going back and forth using ethereal. I am confused on how to setup
DBD::ODBC to talk to this database. Do I need a ODBC to ODBC bridge
to talk to this database? Both the client and server are going to be on
the same machine.
