I'm also wondering if there is a performance hit with using ODBC as opposed to connecting to the database directly.

It is very likely for a small performance hit of using the ODBC. Due to the overhead function calls of DBI -> DBD::ODBC -> ODBC -> MSSQL. But I don't see the reason for a large performance hit.

Actually I don't see any reason not to use ODBC. Even if it is Microsoft technology but MSSQL and ODBC agree with each other, why shouldn't they... both are Microsoft.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
