Re: DB-Sybase ppd

Microsoft SQL Server started out as a fork of Sybase, and although it's been almost completely rewritten since, I believe it retains pretty good API compatibility. So, bearing that in mind, although I have no experience using Sybase, hopefully this will help...

DBD::ODBC works very well on Windows for connecting to Microsoft SQL Server. If you have a valid ODBC DSN, that can be converted to a DBI DSN by prepending "dbi:ODBC:".

We are currently using the Perl 5.6 version of DBD::Sybase to access our Sybase databases. Can that set of modules be used with 5.14.2? What would need to be changed in 5.14.2 to use the 5.6 modules? Thanks again.	[reply]

DBD::Sybase supports recent versions of Perl. You'd need to re-install it for a new installation of Perl, as it includes XS parts. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply]
