## 7.6. Questions and Choices

Hopefully by now we've answered all your questions about using ODBC from Perl, except one. If you need to choose between `Win32::ODBC` and `DBD::ODBC`, which do you choose?

It's actually a reasonably straightforward choice. If you need to use more of the ODBC API than is available through `DBD::ODBC`, then use `Win32::ODBC`. Otherwise the DBI plus `DBD::ODBC` combination is probably your best bet.
