Strange what some people have to do for a living! :) Do you mean a Perl-level wrapper (ala Win32::ODBC API) or a C-level ODBC emulation? If the former, then the Win32::DBIODBC hack may be s start: http://search.cpan.org/src/TIMB/DBI-1.603/lib/Win32/DBIODBC.pm If the later then I suspect you're in for a bumpy ride. Grafting DBI into the guts of an exiting open source ODBC driver may be the best approach here. > But I'm having no luck finding the formal ODBC 3.5 spec. > It appears our friends in Redmond have deep-6'd it from > their websites, and a lengthy googling session > hasn't surfaced anything. > > Anyone know where the spec might be hiding ? archive.org may help. > Last clue I had was some MSDN CD circa 2000. Sounds plausible. You may be able to find a copy of the "ODBC 3.5 Developers Guide" book by Roger Sanders (pub Mc Graw Hill). Have fun! Tim.
