Re: [PEPr] +1 for Database::DB_odbtp

Yep, definitely missed it! Because DB_odbc is similar in nature to DB_odbtp, I was also using it as a guide. If you look at the code for DB_odbc, it does not support ODBC DSN-Less connections in the manner you outlined below. In the case of DB_odbc, you have to set 'hostspec' or 'database' to the DSN-Less string. So, it was not obvious to me that it would be improper to use 'username' for the same purpose. I will modify DB_odbtp to properly support DB's DSN structure. Thanks, and sorry for my confusion. -- bob On Fri, 10 Sep 2004, Daniel Convissor wrote: > Hi Bob: > > On Fri, Sep 10, 2004 at 10:59:05AM -0400, Robert Twitty wrote: > > As you can see, DSN-Leess connect strings are too anarchal for full > > accomodation by DB's DSN spec.
