I am using this now, and it's stable and as fast as can be - except for MS SQL 
Server of course :(

I use the DBD::Sybase module, and currently I am duplicating certain info from 
the MS SQL Server to a MySQL server, because the MySQL server is much faster 
for generating reports.

I haven't seen any weird results returned yet, so I belief it's safe.

Cheers

PS: Application Developpers of the world - DON'T use MS SQL Server - *please*
