I thought you said SQL2000 and meant Microsoft SQL Server 2000! > use DBI; > $|=1; > > > my $user='xxx'; > my $password = '....'; > my $database = "nnsdata_ptest"; > my $hostname='somehost.com; > my $port = '1444'; > > > my $dsn = "host=$hostname;port=$port"; > my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$dsn", $user, $password); Again I thought you meant MS SQL Server 2000, not mysql. That's a completely different and totally incompatible database! You want to use DBD::ODBC, not DBD::mysql Try: my $DSN = "driver=SQL Server;Server=$hostname;Database=$database'; my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:ODBC:$dsn", $user, $password); HTH, Jenda ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED] === http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz ===== When it comes to wine, women and song, wizards are allowed to get drunk and croon as much as they like. -- Terry Pratchett in Sourcery -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
