I've said it before, and I find myself saying it again:

Sometimes DBD::ODBC isn't the right choice. Note that I also caused Ovid to post a bit of a rant with that one as well. I'm not advocating that you must use the "one true solution" or anything. I'm just saying that if you have the flexibility to use DBD::Sybase or DBD::FreeTDS (which I've had connection issues with), then don't get locked down in the ODBC solution. DBD::Sybase works extremely well with MS SQL Server 6.5, btw.

ALL HAIL BRAK!!!
