Home: Perl Programming Help: Advanced: Using perl to get info from Access 2000

Michael Deleted May 21, 2000, 11:42 AM Post #1 of 4 (2013 views) Using perl to get info from Access 2000 Can't Post I am looking for some guide to show me how to get specific information out of an Access 2000 database. The script would run on the same machine, and have all the right permissions. I've checked several Access for Dummy's ect. books, but they just aren't that helpful. Any help?

There is an example of using DBI/DBD with the Northwinds Access database here : http://tlowery.hypermart.net/perl_dbi_dbd_faq.html#DBDODBCAccess And the Win32::ODBC FAQ is available here : http://www.roth.net/perl/odbc/faq/ In general, I'd recommend using the DBI/DBD method. Another way would be to use the WIN32::OLE module and call the Access engine itself - but that's mostly of interest if you want to e.g. access macros that are defined within your Access database application.

Love this site, you guys are the greatest! I've tracked half a dozen perl archives that just curled up and died! Keep up the good work!
