I've looked everywhere but can't find out how to do it. I must be brain dead or something.

Anyway, I'm running windows and MS-SQL 7.0 and need to access the databases with perl. I don't know how to do it.

Thank you so much

Basically, you have to identify the appropriate driver in your Perl scripts.

The reason that there are very few MS SQL Server/Perl scripts is that running ASP or Cold Fusion is more efficient in Windows servers that have MS SQL Server installed.

BTW: LINKS SQL does work with MS SQL Server among other database storage applications, like Oracle.

Thanks for you, but what is the driver in my perl script.

I have perl application made for mysql and want to put it on my system with mssql already running. I thought it would be stupid to have both installed and running.

What do you guys think?

Hi,

You need to install DBD::ODBC perl module. Then, you need to add an ODBC data soure (in the control panel), and use that as the database name.

Hope that helps,

Alex
