Hello, You can use Perl with DBI module. MSSQL DB can be accessed using Sybase DBI driver. In this case access to your DB would look like: $dbh = DBI->connect(dbi:sybase:dbhost:dbname, user_name, password) || die "Can't connect: $DBI::errstr\n"; $sql="SELECT my_column from some_table"; $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql) || die "Can't execute: $DBI::errstr\n"; $sth->execute || die "Can't execute: $DBI::errstr\n"; while ($hash_ref=$sth->fetchrow_hashref) { push @my_array, $hash_ref->{my_column} } $sth->finish; $dbh->disconnect; Regards.

Hi

I have a problem that I hope someone here has overcome, we have

some

corporate databases still on MS Windows 2000 server and running SQLserver 2000, I am hoping that someone has found a query tool that will allow LINUX users to access(query) the databases. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Much

Rich
