I desparately want to push our company towards using perl/DBI for the platform and web-server independence it will bring. However, there is a spanner in the works in that we have a lot of stored procedures in a SQL Server 7 database that make frequent use of output parameters. Is 'bind_param_inout()' the only way to use these SP's and get the output values? If so, is the implementation of it in DBD::ODBC imminent? I fear that if the answers to the above questions are 'yes' and 'no' respectively then I will lose the struggle to shift our technical direction. I have tried looking at the code to see if it is something I could do myself and make available as a patch, but as I am not too versant with Perl & DBI/DBD internals it seems pretty tricky. Any help / pointers appeciated... Regards Lee ----- End forwarded message -----Thread Previous | Thread Next
