RE: Accessing MS SQL Server 2005

Mark,

Looks like DBI modules on CPAN for SQL Server are relying on DBD-ODBC
module at least for the connection.
Not sure, but you may not be able to avoid DBD-ODBC installation.

Regards,

Mehmet

Subject: Accessing MS SQL Server 2005

I need to talk to MS SQL Server 2005 (from windows running activestate
version 5.8) Besides ADO and OLE, what other options might be available?
Any geographic information related to binaries/source
locations/installations would be helpful.

Also, I've read about Jeff Urlwin's DBD-ODBC but was unable to install
to windows using the cpan module for some reason. And the activestate
repository version is quite deprecated. I was wondering if there were
alternative sources for this, unless there's reason not to pursue it..

TIA
Mark
