There is a iODBC driver which does ODBC from OpenLink Software, that works on nearly all UNIX platforms, including FreeBSD. If you do Web Applications i know of Perl and DBD::ODBC and PHP3 to use that ODBC driver. From the perl side it seems that SQL Server 7 is known to work with the latest release. Take a look at http://www.openlinksw.com/. bye, alex -- Alexander 'decay' Goller e-mail: alex@vivien.franken.de decay on ircnet pgp - 2048/09314EBD pgp - 98 A8 0A DD 4B 8E 92 52 05 D0 CA 8E D7 87 B3 B3 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
