Re: (RADIATOR) Authenticating off of Platypus
2) use FreeTDS and DBD-Sybase - when I tried this it was an exciting mix of linking alpha software with alpha software :) It's probably much better now. There are *two* freetds. One is what most would consider to be FreeTDS, as featured at http://www.freetds.org, and is able to emulate the Sybase client libraries. This appears to work with Radiator but doesn't work correctly, it doesn't seem to read all the results from MSSQL, causing the DB connection to be reset for each request, which works under low volume test (returning error messages for each request after the first) but does not work under load. The other is the alpha, no longer actively developed, freetds-dbd, and if anyone has got it to build on FreeBSD-stable I'd be very interested to hear how. :-) === Archive at http://www.thesite.com.au/~radiator/ To unsubscribe, email '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' with 'unsubscribe radiator' in the body of the message.

If anyone if familiar with this could you please email me the links and or any hints, tips, pointers, etc. There's 3 main choices: 1) use the Sybase libraries (this will worth with SQLserver 6.5 natively and with 7 if you apply some 'compatilibity' patches available from Microsoft) against the DBD-Sybase perl module. I posted a cookbook way of getting this done a few months ago. 2) use FreeTDS and DBD-Sybase - when I tried this it was an exciting mix of linking alpha software with alpha software :) It's probably much better now. 3) use OpenLink. I'm not very up on databases, so when I looked at this I just went "huh?". It was hard enough finding out whether the product would support Linux (glibc2) and SQLserver.
