in reply to DBD::Sybase + MS SQL server problem

a) You're firing the first 3 statements without a "GO" in between. try this :
set TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED; GO set quoted_identifier on GO use smdb GO

b) You dont need to use double quotes in the : use "master" line
c) try running the sql without any semi-colons. i dont think u need to add any semi-colons when you're executing the sql from a perl script.

And </code> and lastly, i would suggest testing the sql with just a simpler sql ,and if that works, go on adding to the sql stmt , one small step at a time, testing each time to see what addition is causing the sql to fail.... hth

    OK thanks, after some experimentation, it a) doesn't seem to like compound statements (ie multi line bit, so I have to run those separately). And b) it seems to fail if I use the semi-colon. Sigh. Figured it would be something simple :)
