SQL Server (DPR#11789)

[Alex Fritz]

Hey guys,
   I emailed you earlier today about using Radiator with SQL Server 2000.  I
emailed ActiveState and got some information I thought pertained to this
problem and I was curious if it was possible to use the solution mentioned
below rather than ODBC.  Thanks.

Alex,

There is no DBD module for MS Sql.  You may want to try using MSSQL::Dblib
and/or MSSQL::Sqllib.

http://www.algonet.se/~sommar/mssql/

You can install DBIx-MSSQLReporter or DBIx::AnyDBD using PPM which also may
provide the database connectivity you need.

I'm not sure if any of the above will work with Radiator.  You may have to
use
DBD-ODBC in the end.
