I am using Perl 5.14.2 on Ubuntu wheezy 64 bit.
I am trying to connect to a Pervasive SQL server v9.5 that is installed on a windows 2008 machine.
I tested the connection with isql and it works properly, I tested with the following command:
isql -v <db_name>
I use the DBD:ODBC v1.39 (latest version) perl module installed from cpan.
I am using the following command to connect to sql server:
use DBI;
my $db = DBI->connect('dbi:ODBC:Moked');
Moked is the connection name that was defined in the unixodbc v2.2.14 in odbc.ini.
/etc/odbc.ini
[Moked]
Driver=PERVASIVE_ODBC
Description=Pervasive ODBC Interface: Moked
ServerName=<ip>:<port>
DBQ=MIDA
UID=
PWD=
OpenMode=0
PvTranslate=
when I try to connect with the command i showed above I get error SQL-HY001 that by googling I understood that it relates to memory allocation, usually people get these while querying and not while trying to connect/
it seems that DBI does recognize the connection because if I type a different name, for example ‘Moked2’, i get the error SQL-IM002 instead.
any ideas?
how can I debug this issue further?
any information regarding the issue would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
You are getting the memory allocation error because the PSQL v11 client cannot reliably connect to a PSQL v9.5 server. If you want to use the v11 client, you need the v11 server too. You might be able to get away with the v11 client at a Btrieve level but there were significant changes between v9 and v11 on the ODBC side.
