Well if you really want to avoid unixODBC, there is always DBD::Proxy. You
would run DBD::Proxy on a windows machine to relay.
I had to do that many years ago to talk to a data source ( Not SQL Server) that
had an ODBC driver on windows, but no Unix/Linux option.
I do stress the DBD::ODBC,FreeTDS,unixODBC stack a little bit and it works.
* Newer data types, ( datetime2, XML, nvarchar(max) ),
* Returning Large 200K nested data structures built with FOR XML PATH
I do manage to mangle french characters occasionally, but my latest app's with
a current stack work now if I don't over think it.

I've never loved unixODBC. I'd go a long way to avoid it if I didn't _have_ to
use it.

On Linux you can use FreeTDS & unixODBC , or Microsoft also has Microsoft ODBC
Driver for SQL Server on Linux.

Hi!

MS SQL is mostly-compatible with DBD::Sybase, as far as I know.

FreeTDS does the wire format, so if someone wants to get down
to native stuff...
