Hello List,
I need to access some data a MS-SQL server ie run a stored procedure or user-defined function or a select every so often maybe 3
times a day.
Have centos 4.5 on intel xeon. Is there an obvious
certain-to-succeed
approach?
perl DBI + ODBC spings to mind, have not tried it yet - cannot access the systems yet - need to make a good plan. Am a bit concerned cos I dont know of an alternative to perl DBI + ODBC and I have heard a few anecdotes about how ODBC possibly problematic..
Any suggestions gratefully received and would be pleased to read the nice manual (if one is identified!).
You could try the Sybase libraries as both speak Transact-SQL and sprang from the same code base at one point.
It's a little dated, but you might find up-to-date versions of some of the libraries and utilities mentioned in this article:
