dbiproxy vs. ODBC on UNIX with regard to maintenance

[Christian Schneider]

Hi all,

I am accessing a Win2K-based MS SQL Server database from Unix-based (mod_)perl scripts. I am doing this using DBD::Proxy and the dbiproxy from the DBI distribution.

Now I am about to leave my job and management is concerned about who is going to maintain the setup. As nobody has got any experience with the Perl DBI they don't want to maintain the proxy. They've got to maintain the SQL Server and ODBC anyway, so the question would be: will it be easier to dig up some ODBC-libraries for Unix and maintain them rather than the current setup.

Thanks,

Christian
