Around 4-5 years ago was the last time i needed to talk to SQL server. FWIW, i was a big fan of binding DBD::Sybase to freetds. It allowed Windows Authentication (DOMAIN\username) or SQL Server authentication (sa) and provided a UCS2 to UTF-8 bridge for unicode. It also allowed connecting to SQL Server instances by instance name as well as directly to a TCP port. I never got parameter binding to work, but worked around it.

The Perl scripts on the Windows side used DBI ODBC. I used SOAP::Lite on the Linux side. If I needed to access SQL Server I would probably do the same. Is there a downside to using SOAP instead of a ODBC gateway? -----Original Message----- From: Melbourne-pm [mailto:melbourne-pm-bounces+andrew_dent=dentaur.com at pm.org] On Behalf Of Malcolm Herbert Sent: Friday, 21 August 2015 4:31 PM To: melbourne-pm at pm.org Subject: [Melbourne-pm] accessing MS Sequel database from Linux with perl?

HSD has a prospective customer that is seeking assistance with a number of aspects of their IT operations. Central to their operations is a custom Perl (CGI) script that is effectively the heart and soul of their business. To cut a long story short: the customer is wanting to make a number of enhancements and bug fixes to the script. At the same time, the customer needs help modernising/rationalising other aspects of their operations such as their mail hosting, internet connectivity, web hosting, etc., and is also keen to develop a mobile app interface to the system. As far as the mobile app goes, a mobile-friendly HTML5 app is an option but this would need further analysis. This assignment would suit someone with web development, Linux/UNIX sysadmin and (of course) Perl chops. HSD is acting informally as a go-between to assist the customer with procuring these services and to this end will be vetting applicants. Location: Ringwood There would be a requirement to work on-site for part of the assignment, especially initially during the requirements gathering phase, but otherwise telecommuting is fine. Engagement: A flexible engagement model is offered, e.g., casual/part time or contracted hourly rate, with the model to be agreed upon as part of initial discussions. Technology: - LAMP stack hosted on OS X (Server) There's scope to migrate services to Linux, either hosted on-site or in the cloud, as part of this assignment.
