Connect Catalyst app to MS SQL Server 2005
|
|
I'm trying to connect my Catalyst app to a MS SQL server 2005. I have
DBIx::Class loaded and I went through the documentation, but I can't
seem to get the right connection string. Would someone be able to point
out my mistake and suggest the proper connection string?
Here is the info from my .conf file.
<Model::DB>
schema_class WebTest::Schema
<connect_info>
dsn dbi:odbc:WebTestODBC
user WebGuy
password webtest
AutoCommit 1
</connect_info>
M/Model::DB>
I have created an ODBC connection called WebTestODBC on the machine
hosting the MSSQL server.
I have also tried the above with a change to the dsn:
dsn dbi:MSSQL:WebTestODBC
But I always get the same error:
DBIx::Class::ResultSet::first(): DBI Connection failed: Can't connect to
data source 'HASH(0x43477e8)' because I can't work out what driver to
use (it doesn't seem to contain a 'dbi:driver:' prefix and the
DBI_DRIVER env var is not set) at
C:/Perl/site/lib/DBIx/Class/Storage/DBI.pm line 839
This suggests that it is not reading the <connect_info> properly and
instead is looking at the entire thing as a hash. I don't know how to
get around this. I don't even know if it is the right assumption.
Also, in my \Model\DB.pm I have the following code I took from the
Catalyst tutorial and modified. I'm not sure if I should just remove it
or what.
__PACKAGE__->config(
schema_class => 'WebTest::Schema',
connect_info => [
'dbi:odbc:WebTestODBC',
],
);
