Is the DBI->data_sources method the only facility available in the DBI to
get a list of databases on a server? I'm trying to build a Perl/Tk
application that would give me an interface similar to say RapidSQL where
I can have a frame containing a list of all the databases on a
server... by clicking one, I can enter that database and issue commands
and stuff. Sybase won't return anything with data_sources and I'm not
sure if Informix will either... those are the 2 dbs I'm concerned with at
this moment. I know in Sybase I could just query the master..sysdatabases
table to get this list, but I was hoping there'd be a more portable method
available in the DBI especially since I don't know what command to issue
in Informix to get a similar list.
Thank you,
