Re: [cobalt-developers] Perl DBI where is it??



Hey Adam:

Thanks for the tip- I'll give it a go. Expecially since ODBC isn't going to be working anytime soon.

HUG,

What is the database on Windows? In any case a good method might be to use
DBD::Proxy so that you don't need any ODBC stuff on the unix side.
DBI::ProxyServer runs on the server machine (windows) and does the ODBC (or
whatever DBD you choose) calls for you.

Cheers
Adam
