Hi, I have to connect to Microsoft SQL Server from Perl. I know that in windows, I can use the DBD::ODBC driver. But I can't seem to find a driver that can work from Linux. I remember one can do something about DBD::Sybase to make it work with SQL Server, but couldn't seem to pinpoint it. Thanks. |

Super Search'ing for threads related to linux, odbc, and access should yield a bunch of results.
Also, did the "Using DBD::Sybase with MS-SQL" section in the DBD::Sybase documentation help?
Do have have anything you've tried so far? What were the error messages?

From memory lookup FreeTDS and the DBD::Sybase drivers.
Hope it helps

In 2000 or so SQL Server began supporting XML queries and responses. That was the last time I had to access SQL Server from Linux via perl and I did so by sending an XML query and receiving an XML response. I am no longer on that project and I do not have access to the docs any more. I do recall that it was very simple for the queries and responses we did. | [reply] |

I struggled with this one for quite some time, until I found this, and then everything just _worked_
Cheers,
