Hello List,
I need to access some data a MS-SQL server ie run a stored procedure
or user-defined function or a select every so often maybe 3 times a day.
Have centos 4.5 on intel xeon. Is there an obvious certain-to-succeed
approach?
perl DBI + ODBC spings to mind, have not tried it yet - cannot access
the systems yet - need to make a good plan.
Am a bit concerned cos I dont know of an alternative to perl DBI +
ODBC and I have heard a few anecdotes about how ODBC possibly
problematic..
in bizarro world, you could write your data access calls in middleware
ASP code on the windows server, and call those procedures with a http
GET from your perl.
there's some strange attractions to this methodology. it greatly
simplifies access control to the MS SQL, the perl -> windows interface
is confined to very simple and well understood http, the windows guys
can audit your SQL code in their comfort zone.
