Anyone using Firebird (DBD::InterBase) with mod_perl ?

["C. Jon Larsen" <jl...@richweb.com>]

I'm trying to get a module that relies on some MySQL-specific 
functionality to run with Firebird 1.5.0 under mod_perl 1.

In particular I need to replace calls to:

$sth->mysql_is_pri_key;
$sth->mysql_is_num;

with a Firebird equivalent.

$dbh->table_info

Does not seem to be supported by the DBD::InterBase driver, and I have not 
had any luck with:

$dbh->primary_key

either.


I read that some folks had given up on the DBD::InterBase driver and went 
to using an ODBC driver. Anyone have any suggestions, links,  or 
experiences they can share ? 

Thanks !

Well, I thought I'd ask here since there's a greater chance of finding 
people here that are actually using Firebird and perl for 
real applications, and not the disposable/trivial 30 line scripts that my 
searches have been turning up.

DBD::InterBase returns 0 matches in the DBI users search interface.
Inter[Bb]ase returns 3 matches.
Firebird returns 5 matches.

I know some folks out there must be using it; I guess they're 
using java|php|delphi as the devel env and not perl. 

Sorry for the interruption.

Jon, your question has nothing to do with mod_perl. You ought to ask it at the 
dbi-users list: http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=dbi-users
