Perl DBD/DBI for SQL Server

we have ODBC drivers to connect to SQL Server from a unix box.
I looked at cspan.org for Perl DBD/DBI with sql server and I
don't see one. Is there a place from where I can download
perl DBD/DBI for SQLServer.

Thanks.

I believe you use DBD::ODBC in this case, but I could be completely
wrong. I don't use DBI, and I don't connect to MS SQL Server from Unix.

You could check out www.freetds.org. I believe they have a DBI thing
too.

Great. It sure looks like there can be a possible perl to SQL Server.
I will download and try it.

thanks.

Hmm, I think one of my guys at work does this. (Connects to SQL server via
Perl.)

thanks.

I've read comparison of Perl vs. PHP regarding features and coding, however I would like to know how each affects server load. I am looking at two scripts - one in Perl and the other in PHP - for the Amazon Product Feed. My understand is that Perl must be compiled on each execution and that PHP does not, therefore PHP is less of a load on the server. Comments, anyone?

Hi, all. I read that the "--with-perl" option "Build the PL/Perl server-side language". Does that mean the the switch is necessary to connect to the PostgreSQL database if you are using a perl program? It seems to me that it is only for allowing the use of perl *inside* of postgres and if one is just using perl programs to access the database from the outside this switch is not necessary. I want to make sure I give the applications...

I'm not exactly sure how to use these two languages together. It seems to me that they both totally different things. PERL = databases, heavy processing, server functions.

Greetings all. I have a problem with PERL and SQL Server. I need to upload a database query to a web page using PERL and SQL Server. I have tried to do this myself but nothing displays on the page.
