Hi,
I need to connect to the progress database through perl. I was wondering if
there is any way that I can use the DBI module to do this. I searched the
CPAN but could not find a module to use for progress DB. Though I would ask
in here.

Thanks in advance.
Ram.

There is DBD::Pg, available from CPAN. You also need to install
PostgreSQL (client only) to compile DBD::Pg.

AFAIK Progress and Postgress are two quite different databases ...

There seems to be no *progress* on this list since the last time someone
asked about a DBD for *progress* (not postgres), someone also mentioned
DBD::Pg. Progress is a commercial RDBMS and if there's a DBD for it, I
haven't seen one.

But you can make an ODBC connection to Progress so you should be able to
use DBD::ODBC, right?

yeah, I am trying that option, but wanted to know if there is a module
available for progress database itself. Will update.

Thanks a lot for the response.
