[Sqlrelay-discussion] Anyone using the Sybase sqlrelay driver?

[Tim B. <Tim...@po...>]

I'm looking at using sqlrelay in a large production environment that
currently uses Perl DBI + DBD::Sybase.

In order to test the degree of compatibility between DBD::Sybase and
DBD::SQLRelay + sqlr-connection-sybase I'm using the DBI_AUTOPROXY
mechanism to run the DBD::Sybase test suite through DBD::SQLRelay.

So far the results are not encouraging. The test suite finds many
problems with sqlr-connection-sybase. (Plus some with DBD::SQLRelay
that I've now patched to fix.)

There seem to be very few mentions of sybase in the mailing list archives
so I was wondering if either very few people are using it, or if those
who are are simply very happy.

Does anyone on the list have experience with the sybase driver?

I had started patching sqlr-connection-sybase to address the issues
being shown up by the test suite but now I'm thinking the best course of
action is to create a new sqlrelay sybase driver using the very robust
and mature DBD::Sybase code.

Any thoughts?

Tim.
