FreeTDS is a free (open source, LGPL-licensed) implementation of
|
|
Sybase's db-lib, ct-lib, and ODBC libraries. Currently, dblib and ctlib
|
|
are most mature. Both of these libraries have several programs know to
|
|
compile and run against them. ODBC is just a roughed in skeleton, and
|
|
not useful for real work.
|
|
|
|
FreeTDS will run at protocol versions 4.2, 4.6, or 5.0 and thus can
|
|
access both Sybase and Microsoft SQL-Servers. Note: Microsoft SQL
|
|
servers do not support TDS versions above 4.2 and need to be configured
|
|
with the --with-tdsver=4.2 flag.
|
|
|
|
Experimental support for TDS 7.0 (the version used by MS SQL Server 7.0)
|
|
is now included. It works for me but beyond that I can't promise much.
|
|
That said, TDS 7.0 support can be configured by using the
|
|
--with-tdsver=7.0 when running configure.
