Hi,

I have to convert a  sql 2005 database to sql 2000 to run a 
perl script with the win 32: :odbc connection. This is a repetitive 
process. I do not know anything about perl coding.  Is Free TDS the 
correct tool for me to be able to run my perl scrip from sql 2005 rather
 than having to convert it sql 2000?

Thanks in advance!
