Am I the only one who can not find any free ODBC drivers for Linux?
I see countless references to ODBC driver managers, but no ODBC drivers
themselves - not free ones anyway.
I'll have to second the other poster's comments re: FreeTDS. It works fine,
and we're looking at using SQLRelay in conjunction, to give us connection
pooling benefits too. We're fortunate to count the FreeTDS author as a
(mostly!) regular member of our area PHP user group, and his
contribution to this area (unix to ms/sybase database talking) can't
be understated. :)
