FreeTDS is a set of libraries that allows programs to natively talk to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases. Technically speaking, FreeTDS is an open source implementation of the TDS (Tabular Data Stream) protocol used by these databases for their own clients. It supports many different flavors of the protocol and three APIs -- DB-Lib, CT-Lib, and ODBC -- to access it.
