For the first BCP run I set
Use Sybase::BLK;
$BCP->config(DIRECTION => IN,

Solaris (and possibly other platforms) with perl 5.8.1 and gcc 3.x.
The problem is the default LDDLFLAGS configuration value that is used
with 5.8.1, which includes the following flags:

Has anyone attempted to write a DBD
using Inline::C (or C++) ? I'm looking into updating a driver
to selectively switch between a pure Perl implementation,
and a native C i/f to a low level vendor API library if its available, in order

SQL query or statement at a time:
sqsh> select 5 from foo
sqsh> select 7

What's the expected output of the attached script?

I got a column of type bytea, and found out that DBD::Pg is
complaining when it sees backslashes. I'm using prepare/execute and
