Re: Recommendations on module for Perl <-> PostgreSQL interaction

Just for assurance - are you going to use PostgreSQL as ODBC data source? Since ODBC is a abstraction layer you don't use PostgreSQL specific libraries with it. You just use DBD::ODBC.

Acctually, I have hade a real problem installing that module (DBD::ODBC). It seems that it cannot find my unixODBC installation even though I've set the recommended environment variable. DBD::Pg seems to work though.. Thanks anyway for the recommendation! /Dargosch	[reply]

It was not a recommendation - it was a clarification. I don't recommend using ODBC over DBD::Pg or some other library. I just seemed to me that you need to use ODBC - and I explained that in that case you don't need DBD::Pg. Actually I would rather not use ODBC when I can - I like the DBD abstraction.	[reply]
