Sumanth, According to your error message, your script did not found your MSSQL Server by hostname.
You can try to connect your server by IP. For example : my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:Sybase:server=111.22.33.44;database=db_name", "username", "password"); Regards, Chingyuan On Wed, May 18, 2016 at 6:32 AM, Jeff Urlwin <jurl...@urlwincc.com> wrote: > And, to add, I’ve recently come across a new Microsoft ODBC driver for > Linux.
