I've been using the freetds driver and DBI to talk to MS-SQL 7.0. It works okay, but queries longer than than 502 bytes (that is the query itself Select...) will fail. I'm not exactly sure why this is, but I have a feeling it is due to some laziness on the part of freetds. The proxy server works fine too, but cannot only supports one connection at a time. Maybe this will be fixed now that perl will have a fork. -devkev (kevins@geocel.com)
