in thread What is the best Perl library to use to connect and access MSSQL2008 Database from winXP PC?

I am the current maintainer of DBD::ODBC

WOW, thank heavens for that :-)

Ok, I wonder if you can help me please (this may seem very simple but I am having kittens already)

I have this script
#! c:/perl/bin/perl.exe # # # # # use strict; use DBI; use DBD::ODBC; use DBD::ADO; use Win32::OLE; use Win32::ODBC; #use Win32::SqlServer; my $server = "ABCB00062\\Dev"; my $dbusername = "uk_ggg\\xyz12345"; my $dbpassword = '7seven7'; my $database = 'ukdevxxxx'; my $Error_Message = "\nThere Was A Problem Connecting To The Database\ +n"; my $dbh; #Database Handler #$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:ODBC:driver={SQL Server};Server=$server;Data +base=$database;UID=$dbusername;PWD=$dbpassword") || die "$Error_Mess +age $DBI::errstr"; $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:ODBC:dsnname;Server=$server;Database=$databas +e;UID=$dbusername;PWD=$dbpassword")
But when I run it i get the following error
U:\Doccuments\Scripts\Start>db2.pl DBI connect('dsnname;Server=ABCB00062\Dev;Database=ukdevxxxx;UID=uk_gg +g\\xyz12345; PWD=7seven7','',...) failed: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data sou +rce name not found and no default driver specified (SQL-IM002) at U:\Doccu +ments\Scri pts\Start\db2.pl line 32
I thought I had all the requirements in place! Would it be possible for you please to advise me on what I need to do? Thanks in advance

    Try "DRIVER=" instead of "driver=" - this attribute is case sensitive in ODBC.
