I will test this for my immediate problem and report back.

Reporting back - works just fine.

That makes plenty of sense to me. I suggest the default be set to ASE

ASE - Adaptive Server Enterprise
ANY - Anywhere
IQ - IQ
OS - Open Server
RS - Replication server

because I am going to implement these in my DBI->connect wrapper.
