Why use ASP to begin with being on the Unix platform, you are asking for
trouble. Although Chillisoft does work, I've known people that worked with
it that ran into problems. One was that chillisoft messed up some server
extensions, etc... I've never used it, so I won't comment any more. Why
not just use CGI and if you need the performance equivalent to ASP, you can
use Apache server and mod_perl.

Subject: RE: DBI with Chilisoft ASP
Glen,
interesting question. you have your api to connect from asp to database
while dbi is perl module. Bottom line is ADODB.Connection is for ASP
and
DBI is for perl. 2 different languages 2 different libraries. Actually
to be
more politically correct ASP can be VB or JS, but that's whole another
issue...
There are few modules that allow you do server pages scripting with
perl. If
you want to use perl to write server pages than you need to look at some
of
the Apache modules, cannot recall the exact name.
Hope this helps,
Anton

Subject: DBI with Chilisoft ASP
Hi All,
Please excuse the ignorance...................
Very new to this and have gotten an Access Database ported over to MySQL
now
I am hitting the ASP pages and am wondering if it is possible (and more
efficient) to use DBI within active server pages?
The pages work right now using the SET CON =
Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
CON.Open "profilegroup"
I am using Chilisoft ASP 3.6 Apache 1.3.19 and MySQL 3.23.36 and would
like
to use the most efficient means possible.
Thanks!
Glenn
