in thread Can i execute two queries connecting to same DB at a time.

DBD::ODBC does support multiple active statements.

Yes, life is quite complex for DBD::ODBC in some places but these are more to do with the a) the ODBC spec being quite loosely defined in places b) the great variations in what ODBC drivers do and don't support c) bugs in ODBC drivers.

The old "trick" to get multiple active statements was to make SQL Server use dynamic cursors but it had side effects. Now MS have added MARS support multiple active statements are officially documented and supported.

None of this made any difference to DBD::ODBC since both the "trick" to get dynamic cursors and MARS is done through ODBC and not some specific workaround for SQL Server.
