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!).
