in reply to Switching from ODBC to DBI

If you are really using DSNs to connect through ODBC then they are defined in different places for 32bit and 64bit code i.e., there are 2 ODBC administrators. See how I did at Fun getting DBI/DBD::ODBC working on a 64bit Windows machine.

    VERY informative post. This is exactly what I'm going through now. Just using ODBC in a 64 bit environment is beginning to be more trouble than it's worth. Most likely we'll re-image the server and install Windows 2008 32 bit. At this point, we just don't have the bandwidth to do a code rewrite.
