Chris, Yes, you must install both modules.
When you specify your connect string (or DSN in ODBC lingo), it will define which database specific driver you will use. Read this http://dbi.perl.org/about/ for a description of how the DBI works. -- Ron Reidy Lead DBA Array BioPharma, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Powers.Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2006 8:16 AM To: dbi-users@perl.org Subject: Newbie - Access to SQL Server db thru Perl Hello, I'm just trying to come up to speed on all of this and wanted to make sure I'm following along with what I need to do: In order for me to use Perl to access MS SQL Server, I need to install both the DBI-1.52 module & the DBD-ODBC module, is this correct? The DBI module will install dbi.pl that the ODBC module needs, is that how it works? thanks, Chris LEGAL DISCLAIMER The information transmitted is intended solely for the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
