Thanks a million briantillman and CleverFox. Couldn't have done this without you guys. After following your steps, I got a script to connect and make queries. This will save me a LOT of time.
I have
- MS SQL Server 2005
- Perl 5.8.5
- libdbi 0.6.5
- RHEL 4 nahant u 5
Needed DBD-Sybase-1.04 as briantillman pointed out (from http://www.peppler.org/freeware/dbd-sybase.html).
For noobs such as myself, needed to use the following to grab my versions:
- cat /etc/redhat-release
- rpm -qa | grep libdbi
- perl -v
Other observations (which could be triggered by my older versions of things): the export SYBASE=/usr/local/freetds wouldn't work with the latest DBD-Sybase-1.11. I would get
# perl Makefile.PL
Unknown Client Library version - assuming FreeTDS.
Also when doing a make with DBD-Sybase-1.11 and my versions, I would get the following:
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBI/Driv
+er_xst.h: In function `dbixst_bounce_method':

make: *** [Sybase.o] Error 1
One last note, I am able to connect to MS SQL Server 2005 with tds version = 7.0.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
