Geee, I just can't do without tsql. I'm sure as you say sqsh is a fine tool. But how to teach my feeble brain to stop typing "tsql"? I've been creating my own freetds packages for some time, but it occurs to me others may feel the same as I do. Looks like at least 2 people do! :-)
So please find attach Mr. Package Maintainer my simple patch to the current source that will add a freetds-bin package. If you don't like the patch then ok. If anyone else would just like to be able to get this package too email me and maybe I'll put up a simple package repository somewhere so you can just grab the package without having to build it all the time like me. -- Jens Jorgensen ________________________________ This e-mail and its attachments are intended only for the individual or entity to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, privileged, inside information, or subject to other restrictions on use or disclosure.
