im trying to connect to a 4D database .Ive install the windows ODBC connector, it appears DSN list and I can connect to it from there. I want to access this from a perl script running on the same (windows) machine. Is there a way to tell the script to use the 4D connector ?
Thanks - ive looked at both ADO and ODBC. Ideally Id like this to run from linux. On my windows machine , I've installed a supplied ODBC connector, and it appears (WinXP) in CP->administrative tools->Data Sources. I can pull data from the 4D server into MS Access. Is there a way of installing /accessing this driver from a linux setup . Reading the documentation it appears that DBD::ADO is only for windows setups - is this correct?
Or if I install perl/eclipse etc etc on the XP machine , do I do it from there with DBD::ADO. Is there an example for setting up the connection using a DSN source ? Thanks for any pointers
