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.
