I know this has probably been covered but I can't find a useful answer. So 
here it goes. Our platform consists of a Redhat Linux 6.1 box running Perl 
and Apache. The database is on WinNT with SQL Server 7.0.  We want to 
connect the two together.  We have tried using the DBD::Sybase but it will 
not work becuase we are storing Articles which are over 255 characters. Is 
there something we are missing or can we not do this?  Also we tried to use 
the DBD::Proxy and ODBC but we are having a problem with performance (5-10 
seconds of lag time, which is not acceptable to the higher ups).

Any help will be appreciated.
thanks in advance
