Hello, I am trying to connect to a MsSql Database, but I get an error I don't know what to do about... I installed DBI and DBD:ODBC..
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use DBI; my $dbhost = 'MUCSQL64'; my $dbuser = 'User'; my $dbpass = 'Password'; my $dbname = 'LotTracking'; my $dbh; #Database Handler $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:DSN=$dbname;host=$dbhost", $dbuser, $dbpass, {'RaiseError' => 1});
And then I get the following Error:
DBI connect('DSN=LotTracking;host=MUCSQL64','User',...) failed: [Micro +soft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default +driver specified (SQL-IM002)(DBD: db_login/SQLConnect err=-1) at H:\w +ork\Tracking System\ODBCTestingUkas.pl line 17
What did I wrong?
Thanks for help
