Hi, Hmmm. I thought I needed it. So are you saying that i can do all my SQL statments (just basic inserts, updates and selects) without he DBD module? I guess then I'm unclear on when I would need it.

Why do you want to 'use DBD::Sybase' given that the working example shows that it is not necessary to do so? If you were importing some specific symbols from DBD::Sybase, it would make sense - but you aren't self-evidently doing that, so it doesn't make much sense. -- Jonathan Leffler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix - v2007.0914 - http://dbi.perl.org "Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused."
