Did you take a look at this? http://tlowery.hypermart.net/perl_dbi_dbd_faq.html#HowDoIAccessMSWindowsDB (How do I access a MS Windows based database from UNIX/Linux using DBI::Proxy?)
This method involves using ODBC which is a bit slow but portable. I'm looking at some alternatives myself like DBD::ADO and FreeTDS (available from http://www.freetds.org). I haven't tryed them out yet so can't comment on them. However, I'd love to hear about other's experiences with these or other methods with regard to execution speed, stability, and ease of use. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 5:34 PM Subject: Access Microsoft SQL Server 2000 from HP-UX 11 > Hi All > > I would like my Perl scripts running on HPUX 11 box to connect to SQL Server > 2000 database running on a Windows NT machine. > What are the different setups I need to do? > 1.
