You are then open to the vagaries of isql - your have to process
headers/footers, and the data comes across as formatted text, not to
mention the inefficiency of isql in doing that formatting (unless its
improved recently).
I havent seen a cleaner interface than the 'ct_sql' command - its brilliant
and avoids all the coding.

Subject: sybperl vs. isql
Something has been bothering me, so I thought I would share it.
I am (I believe) a competent Perl programmer and would use Perl for all of
my scripting needs if I could. I have used sybperl (and its derivatives)
successfully but I can't help wondering why. Wouldn't opening an isql
filehandle be just as good? Can anybody argue successfully for my continued
used of sybperl?
Cheers
Adam
