RE: RE (tilly) 2: Bad codes for SQL

"unfortunately" you say...I'd say: why use anything else?? Why should anyone use Win32::ODBC when DBI is available? Jouke Visser, Perl 'Adept'

It's simple, it's fairly reliable, if you are only to use it on Win32 boxes it is easy (no install problems, no need to worry about XS). Using it in the past has made a few projects easy, and more easily distributable. It was a design decision that fit best. A Honda may not be as nice as a Porche, but they both get you from here to there :) Cheers, KM	[reply]

Because it makes it hard to just slip it into old scripts that someone else wrote with Win32::ODBC. Also there is some resistance to learning new modules.	[reply]
