Is there a way to do this with Sybperl without fork()ing separate
subprocesses?
I'd like to write a function that can take, say, a list of tables,
databases, or other objects, and perform a T-SQL function against each

I have installed freetds, unixODBC and dbd-sybase 1.05.
When I run a script with a SELECT statement it gives me this error -
cs_config(CS_LOC_PROP) failed at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 249.

I saw this on the Full Disclosure mailing list - and don't recall seeing
anything about it in the DBI mailing lists.  I'm not sure whether there's
anything much more to do about it than note that it happened...
(Should I have sent it to dbi-users@perl.org instead?)

I'm trying to compile DBD-Sybase 1.05 on my Suse 9.2 Linux box with FreeTDS
0.62.4. I end up with a lot of error messages when trying to use it
afterwards. In the mailing archive I've seen exactly the same errors from
another guy using Solaris. I've seen a comment from you that the ...

I'm trying to get DBD::JDBC functional with the latest DBI release. It
won't be up to date yet, but it'll at least work.
Architecturally, it's a Perl DBD layer which marshals requests and sends
them to a Java server which then uses JDBC to talk to the underlying

Could the prefix jdbc_ be registered for DBD::JDBC?
Thanks,
