I want to second this recommendation. Using DBD::Proxy
and DBI::ProxyServer is a very good approach
to NT/Unix cross-platform database access. The only
drawback is that you will have one server process more
on the database server. You might have to fiddle with
the default transfer unit lengths if you transfer a lot
of BLOB stuff, like image data or so. I have used this
approach several times at work, and it is the perfect thing
to do if you need the access only for a limited time, like
when you are porting legacy data. Much easier to install
then anything else, IMHO.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
