Hello :) Thanks to everyone who responded to my question the other day. I did read the DBD::ADO POD documentation after, but i still can't make any sense of it. All i need is a code sample, showing how to connect and specify the "default database". Example:
$corantosql_dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:$CConfig{'CorantoSQL_dbserver'}:$C
+Config{'CorantoSQL_dbhost'};DefaultDatabase=$CConfig{'CorantoSQL_dbna
+me'}",
                               "$CConfig{'CorantoSQL_dbuser'}",
                               "$CConfig{'CorantoSQL_dbpass'}");

Also, could anyone please post the DBD::ODBC equivalent of the connection code ( the one u give for DBD::ADO )?

Thanks :)
