Hi,

I have been looking at a problem one ouf our customers was having using ActivePerl to connect via DBD:ODBC to our SQL Server driver on Linux. After investigating, the problem seems to be that the version of iODBC you have built your distribution with expects the W (wide) functions (SQLDriverConnectW, SQLConnectW) to use four byte unicode. Unfortunatly that will fail with just about every ODBC driver out there that exports the W functions, as most of those will expect 2 byte wide characters, just the same as on Windows
