IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS:
   This module is maintained and supported on a mailing list,

   [email protected]

   Please send comments and bug-reports to this list. Please include the
   output of perl -v [-V], the version of the MaxDB database, the version
   of the MaxDB SQLDBC-SDK, the version of DBI, and details about your
   platform in your bug report.

   Mailing list archives are available at:

   Additionally you might try the dbi-user mailing list for questions about
   DBI and its modules in general.

PREREQUISITES
   Before installing the driver make sure that you have the following
   prerequisites available.

   Perl
       Build, test and install Perl 5 (at least 5.6.1). It is very
       important to TEST it and INSTALL it!

   DBI Build, test and install DBI (at least 1.21). Since DBD::MaxDB is a
       DBI driver, you need DBI. It is available at:

       http://search.cpan.org

   C compiler
       A C compiler is required, since currently you can only install from
       source. Maybe a binary version will be available in future releases.

       Make sure, that the C compiler you use is the same C compiler that
       was used for compiling Perl! Otherwise you will almost definitely
       encounter problems because of differences in the underlying C
       runtime libraries.

   MaxDB SQLDBC-SDK
       The DBD::MaxDB driver needs to link with MaxDB's common database
       interface SQLDBC which is not included in this distribution. You
       need at least the version 7.5.00.12. For details about SQLDBC see:

       http://www.mysql.com/products/maxdb/pdf/sqldbc_eng.pdf

       You can download the SQLDBC software development kit from the MySQL
       homepage at:

       http://www.mysql.com/maxdb

       or from the ftp server at:

       ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/maxdb/7.5.00

           There are different ways to install the SQLDBC software
           development kit.

       Install using SDBINST
           You need to download and unpack the MaxDB standard installation
           package (maxdb-all-<os>-[32 or
           64]bit-<arch>-<version>_<build>.<tgz>)

           Go to the directory into which you unpacked the installation
           package. Enter the following commands:

             ./SDBINST -package Base
             ./SDBINST -package "Database Connectivity"

           The Base package is required for SQLDBC SDK. If you have already
           installed it, you can skip the first command.

       Install from tarball
           Download the latest version of the SQLDBC SDK from the MySQL
           homepage or the ftp server. Choose the SQLDBC package that
           matches your operating system architecture.

           Unpack the tarball to a local directory of your choice with the
           following command:

            tar xvzf maxdb-all-<os>-32|64bit-<arch>-<version>_<build>

   MaxDB database server
       Of course you will need a MaxDB database instance. The DBD::MaxDB
       driver supports all available versions of MaxDB (SAP DB) at least
       7.3. The MaxDB software and documentation can be found at:

       http://www.mysql.com/maxdb

INSTALLATION
   By default Makefile.PL uses the MaxDB global configuration file
   (/etc/opt/sdb) on Unix/Linux platforms or the registry (requires
   Win32API::Registry) on Windows platforms for retrieving the location of
   "SQLDBC-SDK".

   If the location of "SQLDBC-SDK" cannot be found or if you want to
   control it yourself, define the environment variables "SQLDBCSDK" or set
   the option "-o <path>" when calling " perl Makefile.PL "

   Since the tests will connect to a live database, you need to set the
   following environment variables for the tests to run:

     DBI_DSN=dbi:MaxDB:<host>/<dbname>
     DBI_USER=<username>
     DBI_PASS=<password>

   E.g. Definition of the parameter url for a connection to the database
   TST on the computer REMOTESERVER " dbi:MaxDB:REMOTESERVER/TST "

   Now you are ready, to make and install DBD::MaxDB. The final steps are:

     1.   perl Makefile.PL
     2.   make              (or nmake, if VC++ on windows)
     3.   make test         (or nmake, if VC++ on windows)
     4.   make install      (or nmake, if VC++ on windows)

   Note that you should execute steps 1 to 3 as a normal user, not as root!

TESTING
   You need to set the following environment variables for the tests to
   run:

     DBI_DSN=dbi:MaxDB:<host>/<dbname>
     DBI_USER=<username>
     DBI_PASS=<password>

   Execute the command:

   "make test" or "make test TEST_VERBOSE=1"

   to run the test suite. Running the test suite should not show any
   errors.

   Since DBD::MaxDB uses the shared library "libSQLDBC_C.so"
   ("libSQLDBC_C.dll" on windows), you have to ensure that this library can
   be found by the operating system. On windows you should add the
   "libSQLDBC_C.dll" to you "PATH" environment variable. On Unix/Linux you
   will normally add the path of "libSQLDBC_C.[so|sl]" to the environment
   variable "LD_LIBRARY_PATH".
