Hello, Tip: it makes it easier for others to help if you provide more information like received error messages, what steps you have already tried and so on.
I am only guessing at what OS you are using, but suppose it is Linux and suppose you are using unixODBC: Your odbc files seem OK, this is how my odbc and odbcinst files look like ====odbcinst.ini==== [ODBC] Trace = Yes TraceFile = /tmp/sql.log ForceTrace = No Pooling = Yes [maxdb] Description = maxdb driver Driver = <maxdb independent programs path>/lib/libsqlod.so Setup = /usr/lib/unixODBC/libsapdbS.so.1 FileUsage = 1 CPTimeout = CPReuse = ====odbcinst.ini==== ====odbc.ini==== [eccentxd] Description = maxdb Driver = maxdb ServerNode = localhost ServerDB = <your dbname> ====odbc.ini==== Now be sure to have the following symbolic links to /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini: in /etc : /etc/odbc.ini in your home directory: .odbc.ini (mind the dot at the beginning) To test if your odbc works you can use the isql tool that is supplied with unixODBC: isql DSN USER PASSWD => isql MaxDB <user> <password> It is also interesting to put tracing on. It might contain some usefull information. If this works, then go one trying to connect with PERL, at least you have isolated the problem a bit further.
