in reply to Accessing Microsoft SQL Server from Linux using DBD::Sybase

Excellent guide.

Another option is to use DBD::ODBC with iodbc and freetds. This gives you the ability to use bound parameters.

Note that freetds has to be compiled for iodbc, and DBD::ODBC does as well. Here is the install sequence I used about a year ago (check for new versions):

# Install libiodbc wget http://www.iodbc.org/downloads/iODBC/libiodbc-3.52.3.tar.gz && tar -xzf libiodbc-3.52.3.tar.gz && cd libiodbc-3.52.3 && ./configure && make && make install # Install freetds wget ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/stable/freetds-stab +le.tgz tar -xzf freetds-stable.tgz && cd freetds-0.63 && ./configure -with-iodbc && make && make install # Configure odbc.ini echo "[foo] Database=foo Server=10.10.10.164 TDS_Version=8.0 Port=1433 Driver=/usr/local/lib/libtdsodbc.so" > /etc/odbc.ini # install DBD::ODBC perl -MCPAN -e'get DBD::ODBC' && cd ~/.cpan/build/DBD-ODBC-1.13 && export ODBCHOME=/usr/local && perl Makefile.PL && make && make install
