Sybase drivers are the bases for MS-SQL connectivity -- MS SQL Server (which they refuse to give a real name) was origianlly a Sybase Rental. You don't think MS could invent a RDMS by themselves...do you. Ruben On Thu, 01 Mar 2001 13:20:39 Steven T. Hatton wrote:

Does anyone have any experiece with Sybases Open Client Drivers to run the Microsoft RDMS from Linux. I've really had a tough time with it. I had origianlly tried to use the Sybase ASE to gain access but only succeeded with 2 of the 6 I need access to. The freetds completely fails to this point. I can ping all the boxes without trouble. I've tried Sybperl and DBD::Sybase
It's very fustrating.
If anyone has had expereince, I would apreciate some off list advise. Ruben,
You've got my head spinning. I'm not sure exactly what your goal is here. I
know virtually nothing about Sybase under Linux, but I'm wondering why you are asking about Sybase and MS-SQL. There may be a perfectly good explanation, but I'm ignorant. I remember a while back someone asked about MS-SQL and Linux I suggested using the ODBC DBI stuff, and he said it worked
for him. If all you want is SQL into MS-SQL over a network connection, take
a look on CPAN. I'm not finding this right off on a search, but I know there's stuff out there.
If this doesn't help, perhaps you could elaborate more on the specifics of your requirements so that I, or someone else might be able to help.
HTH,
Steve
