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

I have been using Tcl for cgi scripts on an Apache server for several years now. This is all running on an HP-UX workstation (OS Hp_UX 11i). We just migrated the whole thing to an HP A500 class server with dual processors and a LOT more memory (still HP-UX 11i). Now the cgi scripts that are used to pre-load an html form from an existing data set take upwards of 8 minutes to complete. Using the top command shows that tclsh is sleeping. I THINK that the server eventually times out which causes the data to be flushed and sent back to the client.

hello,

I try to make a simple perl-script to connect to a sql server database. I know that i need to use DBI module but wich DBI module can I use on HP-UX to connect to a windows server with SQL-Server. and how ? because I don't found any usable driver for sql-server. I fonud for oracle , informix , mysql ... but not SQL SERVER :-(

thanks in advance,

Jonay
