Connecting to MS SQL from Linux?

Can this be done? and if so, where can I see some code?Hi George.
Two approaches are:
(a) JDBC:

(b) HTTP / XML:

There is also another way, using libraries from FreeTDS (www.freetds.org, i
belive). I've used this piece of software to have my Linux/PHP/Apache
applications retrive data from the MSSQL servers. Works more than fine.
(Better than IIS/ASP pages retriving data from mysql server).

Might be a bit late but there is another option that you can try. This
is using the OpenLink ODBC drivers for Linux connecting to MS SQL
Server. You can download the drivers from the following URL and a
30-day fully functional license is sent to your e-mail address:
http://www.openlinksw.co.uk/download/downwiz.vsp
You can also take a look at the following URL for information on
sample codes and other useful resources:
