Not DBD::C-ISAM - C-ISAM does not have a native SQL interface. I suppose it would be possible to use the various SQL packages such as that used by DBD::CSV (SQL::Statement) with C-ISAM as the storage module, but I've not had cause to write such a beastie (nor can I think of many things short of a cheque for a few thousand dollars that would induce me to do so). However, there is a CIsam module - it is worth a try. It's a while since I last looked at it, and it was better than nothing at the very least. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2003.04 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
