As
far as I can tell, this driver was never released for Win32 - is there a reason
for this? The
empty result set bug is impacting Win32, I posted a
script to reproduce the problem. � Stephen -----Original

New ODBC driver for Linux, Perl DBD::ODBC for SAP DB Dear
users 1.
a new ODBC driver for Linux is available ftp.sap.com/pub/sapdb/bin/patch/sapdb-odbc-linux-i386-7.3.0.21.tgz bug
fixes:� - two problems in conjunction with
perl's DBD::ODBC ����������� �
(SQLError, i/o parameter that is NULL) ����������� - freeing statement handles
belonging to empty result sets Thanks
to Flemming Frandsen for
bug reporting and the SAP DB patch inside of DBD::ODBC. Thanks to Johan Sch�n for accurate information regarding the "empty
result set" bug. 2.
Using SAP DB with Perl As Daniel Dittmar stated
on 24. Jan. DBD::SAP_DB will not
be developped and maintained in the future. Instead of
this the usage of DBD::ODBC is recommended. Since
version 0.31 the DBD::ODBC package (http://search.cpan.org/search?module=DBD::ODBC)
contains direct SAP DB ODBC support. Please
have in mind that there are two ways of using ODBC on Linux: ����� - install DBD::ODBC directly for SAP DB
ODBC ����� - install DBD::ODBC for a driver manager (iODBC, unixODBC) The
first one gives you exclusive access to SAP DB over DBD and demands version
0.31 or higher. Advantage:������� less
components, less installation Disadvantage:���� runs with exactly one driver,
reinstallation for new versions of
the ODBC driver The
second one allows you to switch between several ODBC drivers or different
versions of a ODBC driver. This one is not specific to
SAP DB so that earlier versions than 0.31 might work. Advantage:������� needs to be installed once, runs
arbitrary many drivers Disadvantage:���� one more component, one more installation Notes
for building DBD::ODBC for SAP DB: Set
the environment ODBCHOME to the directory where the subdirectory incl and lib of the tar are installed. Call "perl Makefile.PL" and following described in the DBD
documentation. Instead of defining data source names (in
/var/spool/sql/ini/odbc.ini or ~/.odbc.ini) it is also possible to set "hostname:dbname" as DNS
string in SQLConnect. With
kind regards� Thomas
