ASP db connection

[Farshid Dabesh-Khoy <fa...@blueyonder.co.uk>]

Dear all,
 
I have transferred a website from IIS/ASP to Apache/apache_asp.
 
I can get the ASP pages to run perfectly however I can not get them to
perform their database connections. The problem I have is that the db
connections strings reside in each and every ASP file. I can connect
through some test Perl scripts I have created and I don't want to have
to go through each ASP page and change the setting manually.
 
Is there a way that I could get Apache and apache_asp to behave in a way
that IIS/ASP/ADO behaves? Meaning that I won't actually have to change
every ASP page.
 
I am relatively new to all this and I apologise if I'm missing any
details I need to provide.
 
Regards
 
Farshid

To my knowledge there are no pure ADO ports to Perl where you get a similar
API that works about the same.  To help ease your port, you might write
some wrapper functions in a DBI layer that emulates what the functions you
call are doing.

If you provide a sample of code that needs ports, I or other could offer
how some equivalent DBI might be used to make things work.
