Re: Selecting the right database for perl

I also use Microsoft SQL Server with PERL and I have no problems either. I use Win32::ODBC as the interface. My only complaint is the lack of error reporting but that is inherent. Of course you may not want to pay for a license and you may not need all that power. Many monks seem to be using MySQL with no problem. I haven't used DBI but it seems pretty straight forward. Some monk named gmax has a great node about dB and PERL. If you haven't seen it, check it out Before asking a database related question ....

Because I really do enjoy getting downvoted, it's Perl or perl, not PERL. Thanks.	[reply]

I also use Win32::ODBC and it works very nicely. Just becareful when an error does occur and capture it to a log file and don't display the error on the screen because that can lead to security issues since you are now displaying table names and columns names to the user who may be an online user and not someone internal to the company.
