May be a case of the docs not matching current reality. When the bridge was started there was no reliable open odbc 3 DM about, so the bridge was designed to mimic a driver manager. Now unixODBC is there its not required (though it still can) to do the extra functions. However since then DBD::ODBC has now stated that it required a driver manager (for good reason IMHO, though I am biased :-). So all the above statements are true to a extent. -- Nick Gorham Easysoft Limited
