Currently, dblib and ctlib +are most mature. Both of these libraries have several programs know to +compile and run against them. ODBC is just a roughed in skeleton, and +not useful for real work. + +FreeTDS will run at protocol versions 4.2, 4.6, or 5.0 and thus can +access both Sybase and Microsoft SQL-Servers. Note: Microsoft SQL +servers do not support TDS versions above 4.2 and need to be configured +with the --with-tdsver=4.2 flag. + +Experimental support for TDS 7.0 (the version used by MS SQL Server 7.0) +is now included. It works for me but beyond that I can't promise much. +That said, TDS 7.0 support can be configured by using the +--with-tdsver=7.0 when running configure. |
