NOTE NOTE NOTE: this module depends on a modified version of the

DBD::AnyData module.  Do not get the original version from Jeff

Zucker.  He and I are working together to resolve the extra features I

need, but we haven't quite merged yet.  

*** This is currently alpha level code!!! ***

Install steps:

  0) install the DBI perl module (run: perl -MCPAN -e "install DBI")

     and the DBD::File perl module (run: perl -MCPAN -e "install DBD::File")

  1) download, and install the modified AnyData perl modules from:

     http://www.net-snmp.org/AnyData-wes/AnyData-0.05.tar.gz

     http://www.net-snmp.org/AnyData-wes/DBD-AnyData-0.05.wes.tar.gz

     http://www.net-snmp.org/AnyData-wes/SQL-Statement-1.004.tar.gz

     Extract each of the above tar balls and in the resulting

     directories run:

    	perl Makefile.PL

    	make

    	make install   (as root)

  2) Then in this directory, run:

    	perl Makefile.PL

    	make

    	make install   (as root)

To use it:

  SQL like Shell script:

    netsh [snmpcmd arguments] HOST [SQL COMMAND]

  Example commands to type at the prompt:

    select * from ifTable

    select * from ifTable where ifDescr = 'eth0'

    alias ifconfig select ifDescr, ifAdminStatus where ifDescr = '\1'

    ifconfig eth0

[Jeff Zucker's original (unpatched) AnyData perl modules can be found

 at http://www.vpservices.com/jeff/programs/AnyData/ .  However, do not

 use the modules from this site as they won't work with the software in

 this directory.  (Use the download sites in step 1 below instead.)  It

 is a good source for documentation about the AnyData modules.]
