Re: Perl with Sybase: sybperl or DBI/DBD::Sybase?

It seems you have to manually quote things with sybperl --- there appear to be no placeholders? Even in the newer Sybase::Simple.

Sybase::Simple is just a fairly simple wrapper which is there to simplify the API, but doesn't really provide additional functionality. Sybase::CTlib does provide support for placeholders - see ct_dyn_prepare() and friends. That being said - I think today I would use DBD::Sybase for any new project, unless there really was a need to access the low-level CTlib API for some reason...
