Subject: capturing sp_showplan output
Date: Sep 4 2001 5:21PM

I'm trying to figure out how to capture the sp_showplan output from 
within sybperl.  The only thing I seem to be able to capture is a 
return value.  Using my usual methods to verify output 
(ct_sql("sp_showplan , null, null, null", sub {print @_})), I 
still just get the return value of 0.

Obviously, showplan does not print to STDOUT or STDERR.  Does anyone 
know of a way I can capture this output?

Thanks.
