Re: Connecting to Database

you definitely have your work cut out as microsoft expects a local
DataSource to have all the DB connection info
which of course you do not have on a nix box

from what I gather from CPAN this is the official release
http://search.cpan.org/~evo/DBIx-SQLEngine-0.93/SQLEngine/Driver/MSSQL.pm

I also saw this workaround on google
http://freetds.org/userguide/perl.htm#DBD.SYBASE

maybe some of the perl gurus such as tim bunce will have more info...

Subject: Connecting to Database

Hello

At the present time I am using Perl, cgi, Apache Web Page, SQL, and
SYBASE database on a unix server(SUN Fire V 880). I have no problem
accessing the Sybase database, fetching records and display them on the
web page.

My Available Database Drivers are.
DBM
ExampleP
File
Proxy
Sponge
Sybase

Now, I would like to connect to another database on a Microsoft SQL
Server, using Perl from my unix server.

What do I need?

Where can I get information? (book or web page)

Thanks

Oscar
