in thread Installing DBD::ODBC

How do you know that the unixODBC installation went well when one of the programs that are supposed to get installed with unixODBC is missing? If you are really sure you know where unixODBC got installed to, maybe just set $ENV{ODBCHOME} to it.

Personally, I use DBD::ODBC on Windows, where it works as advertised, because Windows comes with the ODBC manager.

    Hmmm, ease of use apart, doesn't that go against the raison d'etre of ODBC i.e. a platform, database & language neutral database interface - wouldn't we (in the widest sense possible) all benefit from exposing the interface to as many combinations of OS, DB & language as is possible.

    A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
