Subject:Q: Create a DSN under WinNT (manual/Perl)
View as plain text  
I have installed & tested MySQL V 3.21.29 under WinNT SP4. I'm using
ActivePerl build 519.

The big_record.pl demo uses this line:
$dbh =
BI->connect("DBI:mysql:$test_db:$host",$opt_user,$opt_password,{ PrintError
=> 0}) || die "Can't connect: $DBI::errstr\n";
at around line 20 to connect.

I would like to use ODBC, so I can switch to PostgreSQL. But I don't know
how to create the DSN. When I hit System DSN/Add... I get a window whose
title is 'Create New Data Source', but MySQL is not listed as a driver.

What to do?

TIA

Cheers
