blackadder:

I also use DBI with DBD::ODBC on Windows to talk with MS SQL Server 2008 from WinXP. It works just fine. I've heard complaints of "slow performance" from ODBC and SQL Server, but have seen no evidence of it in my applications for the last 10 years.

The others likely work fine too, but as I also do work on Linux, etc., I stick with the cross-platform tools...
