Re^3: dbi:ODBC change Port

The second parameter to DBI->connect is the username and the third parameter is the password. You are passing in the options hash:

DBI->connect(
    "dbi:ODBC:Driver={$ODBCdriver};Server=$SQLserver;Database=$SQLdata
+base;UID=$SQLuser;PWD=$SQLpassword;Port=$SQLport",
    { PrintError => 0,
      RaiseError => 1,
      AutoCommit => $AutoCommit,
      FetchHashKeyName => 'NAME_lc'
    },
);

I would split that up, and construct the values separately to keep things somewhat understandable:

my $dsn = "dbi:ODBC:Driver={$ODBCdriver};Server=$SQLserver;Database=$S
+QLdatabase,$SQLport;UID=$SQLuser;PWD=$SQLpassword; ...";
my $dbi_options =     { PrintError => 0,
      RaiseError => 1,
      AutoCommit => $AutoCommit,
      FetchHashKeyName => 'NAME_lc'
    };
my $dbh = DBI->connect( $dsn, undef, undef, $dbi_options );

This is a good suggestion and makes the call more readable. I implemented it. However, it does not solve the issue. Calling: `my $dsn = "dbi:ODBC:Driver={$ODBCdriver};Server=$SQLserver,$SQLport;Da +tabase=$SQLdatabase;UID=$SQLuser;PWD=$SQLpassword; ...";` [download] Note that I moved ',$SQLport' to Server. This syntax never connects. This is probably because it is not the syntax expected by Perl DBI (all examples on Perlmonks too also use '; Port=1433' which instead always connects no matter the port I use -> this indicates - I guess - that the parameter is not used. To be honest, I have no ideas.	[reply] [d/l]

The Perl DBI does not care about the contents of (the parameters part of) the DSN. This is between you and the ODBC driver, which is why I linked to https://connectionstrings.com. As none of the two approaches seem to work, I suggest you look closer at the ODBC driver and the version you have, and then find out what the proper connection string is.	[reply]
