DBD::ODBC
The DBD::ODBC
module was written by Tim Bunce and Jeff Urlwin, based on original
code by Thomas K. Wenrich. It’s a Perl extension written in C
and is not tied to Microsoft Win32 platforms. That makes it a good
option for directly using ODBC on Unix, VMS, and other non-Windows
systems.
Being a DBI driver, the main goal of the DBD::ODBC
module is to implement the functionality required by the DBI, not
simply to give access to ODBC from Perl.
The DBD::ODBC driver is described in more detail
in Appendix B.
