For a customer I need to read data from an OpenIngres DB on an HP-UX, running HP OpenView. The Perl application is to be on a MS WinNT machine.
I have been googling alot for different approaches to get this done. (What is working is to use Telnet-module, and run "isql" through telnet on HP server, storing result in a file, and crunching on that file. All from the WinNT ;-) I have got hold of DBD::Ingres, which I understand will install nicely on the same machine as (Open)Ingres is running, after what I read in manuals and elsewhere.... But, is it intended, and how do I install it on another machine than the DBMS-machine, especially on a MS WinXX OS machine? I cannot see any reference to such a compiling/installation. (I have also downloaded a CA ODBC-driver, but it seems to need a "Ingres NET client", of which I know nothing.) Any help is welcomed :-) -- mvh/Regards Kåre Olai Lindbach
