Amonotod,
Yes, that helped tremendously.
Now I've moved on to the next problem.
I installed unixODBC and the tsql command worked (no errors), although
it replied with a 1> prompt and didn't seem to do anything unless I
typed 'quit', in which case it did just that.
I was able to run isql and get data from a table.
I installed freetds and it seems to work okay because I can use the isql
command with the dsn (isql gunnison user pass).
Now the problem: I'm using perl to connect to the DB (see below) and
here is the snippet of code that fails:
my $dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:ODBC:gunnison", "user", 'pass');
Here is my debugging output just listing the available drivers and their
data sources:
1 (main::main)drivers (ARRAY(0x223058)) (7 elements)
2 (main::main)drivers[0]: |DBM|
3 (main::main)drivers[1]: |ExampleP|
4 (main::main)drivers[2]: |File|
5 (main::main)drivers[3]: |Multiplex|
6 (main::main)drivers[4]: |ODBC|
7 (main::main)drivers[5]: |Proxy|
8 (main::main)drivers[6]: |Sponge|
1 (main::main)DBM data sources: |DBI:DBM:f_dir=.|
1 (main::main)ExampleP data sources: |dbi:ExampleP:dir=.|
1 (main::main)File data sources: |DBI:File:f_dir=.|
1 (main::main)Multiplex data sources (ARRAY(0x223058)) (0
elements)
1 (main::main)ODBC data sources: |DBI:ODBC:gunnison|
1 (main::main)Proxy data sources (ARRAY(0x223058)) (0 elements)
1 (main::main)Sponge data sources (ARRAY(0x223058)) (0 elements)
I'm trying to use the ODBC data source as listed above.
I turned the trace level to 999 and got the following output:

I've no experience doing either of these, but I've seen it on the list
many times: You'll have to install the a Unix ODBC manager, the FreeTDS
driver, and then the DBD. Or, on the Win2k box, install and configure
DBD::Proxy...
