Hi,

I am looking for a commecial product that will allow me to connect to MS SQL server via a ODBC connection. It will also allow me to maintain persistent connections.

We currenly use freetds as the middlelayer and DBD::Sybase. The site hangs when it is hit to hard. There are some pages that require 6 hits to the db to generate (this is not my design <--- everything is written in stored procedures so i just call the stored procedures from perl).

I have also tried using the connect_cache method to connect. Does anyone have any recommendations or experiences with high volume, high database activity sites interfacing with SQL Server?

Maybe I can tweak Freetds..somehow?
