I will also bite.......
I tried to use Microsofts IDC ODBC interface for NT but I found that it
was to limiting so I moved to perl and the ODBC modules. The access seems
to be fast enough and Ill probably only move to middleware or C++
(hahahahah) when performance becomes an issue. (alternatively ill try to
figure out how the the ISAPI perl module works.)
One of the great things about Perl is its portability: The NT-ODBC perl
program was originally a OraPerl (Oracle database on various SUNs) which
changed to DBI then to a postgres Perl program (on a solborne which
wouldn't run Oracle). Each time only the data access module was changed
