Kind people,
I know this is a little bit out to left field, but I thought I'd ask.
I've got the, um, privilege of porting an application that ran on
MSSQL to Postgres.
The ER diagram is every RDBMS person's nightmare--all boxes, no lines.
These geniuses decided that 0 is often, but of course not always, the
same thing as NULL. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
</rant>
Anyhow, it'd be nice if I could hook up directly to this thing
(W2K/MS-SQL) from the new box (Linux/PostgreSQL), and I believe ODBC
is a fairly straightforward way to do it. Any pointers?
Alternatives? Extra points if I can use Perl's DBI from the Linux
side.
Big TIA :) :)
Cheers,
D
