I know that I used DBI since I have a ‘use DBI’ statement in my Perl module. However, I do not know if I have used DBD::mysql since I have made no reference to it. If it is of any help to solve this question my ‘connection’ statement is of the following form $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, ‘user’, ‘password’) where $dsn includes a reference to ‘DBI:mysql:host, the host name and the data base name.
If I am using the two facilities that you have referred to does it mean that it is as simple as replacing the ‘use DBI’ with ‘use DBD::ODBC’ and then making some changes to the connection call that reflect the need to connect to Access rather than MYSQL?
I apprecaite that this is probably a very simple question but is there a web page that has the DBD::ODBC docs?
