Hi,

I read the POD of DBD::ODBC but there's only the commercial from
http://www.openlinksw.com mentionned, isn't there an open version
available?

I only need read access from Linux to MS-SQL.

Tom

You can use FreeTDS and DBD::ODBC.
DBD::Sybase also works but doesn't support placeholders.
Or as others have suggested, DBD::Proxy works ( apparently - a friend
swears by it, but I haven't tried it ).
