Thread: Access Ingres database
Hi all, I would like to access an Ingres database (that is running on a HP-UX box) in perl on linux, but Ingres does not exist for that OS and I cannot compile the DBD module. Do you know if it's possible to use the pgsql client to access that Ingres database ? Thank you for your help Xavier

Maybe you should migrate the whole system to Postgres. :) -Doug
