Hi,
I am planning on connecting to a microsoft access database sitting on an
nt server (with activestate perl installed) accross a network from a unix box.
I have installed the Perl Modules and configured the ODBC settings as discussed
in 'Programming the Perl DBI', and I am confident that I will be able to connect to
the database.
My problem is actually querying the data on the the database. Do I issue the queries
in SQL as part of the database handle.
If there are already MIcrosoft Access queries on the database can these be fired from
the Perl script and the results returned?

Many thanks in advance to any answers or information returned.
Ant

• 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).
