I am very new to IDL but have done some Perl-ing in my day, so what I
like to do is spawn a perl DBI script to interact with an SQL server
and spawn so nicely returns an array of rows.

I have done this with Sybase DBs, PostgreSQL DBs and MySQL

That avoids doing DataMiner stuff, which I don't really know about,
but I think costs money?? (please correct me if I'm wrong on that).

Just a suggestion, really, this is probably not recommended by the
gurii.
That is a hack, but being mainly a Perl guy that's a lot more
acceptable than it will probably be to this group ;-)
