in reply to LINUX + MS SQL server

Have a look at FreeTDS and DBD::Sybase. I've used these together to connect to SQL server from a BSD box successfully.

If your heart is set on ODBC, look at iODBC.

    Since I want to use the same code to connect both from Linux and Windows I guess I need iODBC. But, I get stumped with the driver. I still need a SQL Server Driver with iODBC, right?

    Are there no free drivers for SQL Server?

      Whether you use DBD::Sybase or an ODBC (unixodbc or iODBC), you will still need the FreeTDS driver.
