I'm migrating the Perl 5.6 code from a Solaris platform to Linux Redhat. 
The problem is that for the moment, I need to continue connecting to a 
Sybase OCS 12.5 DB. I've looked online for the library, I asked Michael 
Peppler, auther of DBD::Sybase, and I've talked to SAP online help 
person, all with no results. We've sent a request to our DB Admins, but 
we don't officially use Sybase, this is only a Dev box, and DB support 
has been outsourced to HP, so odds of a helpful response are low.

Does anyone have access to what I need to install, to connect to a 
Sybase DB?

Do you mean something other than this? http://www.freetds.org/

It is a requirement of successful installation of DBD::Sybase.  Well, other
commercial Sybase-protocol-speaking libraries would work too.

But somehow I feel like i must be missing the point of your question,
because the DBD::Sybase author would certainly be aware of this already so
if this was all you needed he would have pointed you at it.  (Right?)

I came across it, but then when I went looking for it again, couldn't 
find it.  I hadn't considered an ODBC solution, i'll give them  both a try.

Could you be a bit more specific about the problem you're currently 
facing?  What have you tried and how is it failing to work?

In what sense is http://search.cpan.org/~mewp/DBD-Sybase-1.15/ insufficient?

(Not that I know anything about Sybase, you understand.)

Message-ID: <CAAyyWE_irH95L9rMHCiBUPT5c_Q_n-tes12Hu1U77nb9g7C7rg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I'm just putting stuff together for next Thursday's meeting.  Haven't been
able to find a speaker so looks like it'll be me!  I'll post to meetup
shortly.

November's tenatative date WOULD be November 24 but that's proving
problematic for me to host at work.  That is, in fact, my 40th birthday and
as much as I love you all, my wife takes issue with me hanging out with all
of you on a "notable" birthday.  Would folks be okay if, for that month, I
moved it back to the Wednesday (Nov 23)?  Alternately, can someone else
host somewhere on the 24th?

Thanks,
Dave

Perl program => DBD::Sybase => DBI => some binary libXXX.so file that 
actually communicates to the host where the DB is located


It's the binary file which I need to find.


freeTDS has worked at least partially. I also downloaded Sqsh, a 
wonderful command line SQL client, and it connects fine to dev & prod 
databases. ONly problem with it is that while I can run sqsh -i filename 
to run the sql in the file, I can't do sqsh -C 'select * from ... ' It 
tells me there's no data for -C.


DBD::Sybase is failing to build, which I'll investigate tomorrow, but 
progress is progress,  so they say.

I maintained a Perl distro including Sybase at a former employer. If I recall correctly, the Sybase client libraries are easy to get ahold of from Sybase.

Used to be easy to obtain from Sybase, before it became a subsidiary of SAP

Message-ID: <CAAyyWE-2TUYScn6YRPXBqyeQSNVG_GDAJNxtkuwOmOdu7E-aJA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I'm afraid I was sick this past weekend and was unable to put anything
together for this month.

I would like to make a call for speakers so we can have meetups scheduled
further out and establish a better schedule.  Please feel free to email me
if you would like to do a talk on Perl or your favourite
lib/framework/tool.  Not all talks need be an hour and we can have multiple
talks in an evening.

Ideally, I'd like to theme January as Maker Lightning talks.  Bring out
your favourite Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Robotics or other Maker Projects.

November is currently open and I'll need to schedule it for Wednesday Nov
23rd because of a conflict (well, my 40th birthday).  If you are
interested, please let me know.

Need your help.  Only you can prevent Meetup fires!

Regards,
Dave (Organizer)

As I found out when I showed up and puzzled one of Dave's co-workers, (a
nice young lady who was just in the process of leaving), with rumours of
an imaginary meeting.

It's not fair to leave all the work in the hands of one (or even two)
people. A robust system needs backups and load sharing. Somebody must have
something worthwhile to say about developments, however tenuously
Perl-related. We need a pipeline of routine and emergency talks and
alternate venues.
