in reply to 'use database' for sqlserver

The following works fine for me:

$ perl -le 'use DBI; my $h = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:DRIVER={Easysoft O
+DBC-SQL Server};server=172.20.0.39\\SQLEXPRESS;UID=xxx;PWD=yyy;databa
+se=master;")'

and if I put an unknown database in it fails to login.

    This one works: 
    my $connect_string = "dbi:ODBC:DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER={$server};UI
+D=$username;PWD=$password;DATABASE=$db;";
    $dbh = DBI->connect($connect_string);
