ODBC for Apache
Hi I am running on Windows98SE, Apache 1.20, mod_perl 1.25, php 4.0.6, and
have the latest Apache::ASP installed and have Activestate's Perl installed
(build 626).
I want to be able to access, Oracle, SQL and MSAccess databases as well as a
couple of other Databases that support ODBC. I want to access these DBs from
my apache server. What do i need??
Do i need to install WIN32::ODBC or DBD::ODBC?
Is Win32::ODBC even compatible with apache? I am running activestate's perl
What is Win32::DBIODBC?
what do i need and in what order? ( i.e. DBD then DBI then DBI::ODBC ???)
where do i get Apache DBI from?
is all supported under windows 98SE?
is there a win32::ODBC? compatible with Apache?
is there like a *.ppd file i can use to install it all? or can i do it
through CPAN?
Thanx for all your help.
Francisco

The Alpha tag is a relic. I believe DBD::ODBC is fine and in widespread production use.

What's the stability of DBD::ODBC like? It claims to be alpha software.
Does anyone have any experience with it in a production environment? Is it
at least stable with MS SQL server?

DBD::ODBC is your ticket, running under DBI
http://dbi.symbolstone.org/
You can probably install DBD::ODBC for Activestate perl with
the ppm installer, as they will likely already have compiled
it for you. Apache::DBI is installed with CPAN.
