Re: [MacPerl] Database Connectivity

Chris,

Thanks for your informative-as-usual post!

Following up:

>2.  Use a DBD that requires no external libraries (maybe even no XS code
>... some are pure perl)

(Substituting Create for Use in the above...) Does that not require
knowledge of the interface to the DBMS, something not typically available?
If I understand the FreeTBS project (http://metalab.unc.edu/freetds/), it
is an effort to reverse engineer that interface for Sybase (and thus MS SQL
server) to make such a thing possible.

(I'm checking my understanding here.)

Thanks!
