Questions and Choices
Hopefully by now we’ve answered all your questions about using
ODBC from Perl, except one. If you need to choose between
Win32::ODBC and DBD::ODBC,
which do you choose?
It’s actually a reasonably straightforward choice. If you need
to use more of the ODBC API than is available through
DBD::ODBC, then use
Win32::ODBC. Otherwise the DBI plus
DBD::ODBC combination is probably your best bet.
