That sounds like a sticky requirement there. Maybe you could hack something together with fancy @INC hacking but it sounds like you are trying to make DBD::Sybase do something it really shouldn't be used for. Is there a FreeTDS module out there you can use for the MSSQL db rather than trying to have two different varieties sharing the same namespace?<br>

It turns out there are two ways (at least) to build DBD::Sybase:<br>
<br>
1) Against FreeTDS Libraries<br>
2) Against Sybase Open Client Libraries<br>
<br>
When you choose option 1 you can talk to MSSQL as well as Sybase.<br>
This works b/c both DBs use the TDS protocol.<br>
<br>
With option 2 you can only talk to Sybase DBs but you have the ability<br>
to use additional features like bulk writes not supported with<br>
FreeTDS.<br>
<br>
My problem is that I need the benefits of both. When I use DBI to<br>
connect to a Sybase DB I want the module built against the Sybase Open<br>
Client libraries. On the other hand, a DBI connect against a MSSQL DB<br>
should use the DBD::Sybase built against FreeTDS.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know a clean way to install DBD::Sybase twice and have the<br>
right one to load when I do a DBI connect?<br>
