Access SQL Server from SOLARIS.

Hi All,
I heve one system that need access SQL Server 2005.
This system run on SOLARIS 10.
Have any way to do this?
Thanks
Hello Retf,
Microsoft don't supply their own drivers for non-Windows based clients any
longer, so you have to use a 3rd-party product.
To connect to SQL Server from SOLARIS, there are other third party ODBC
drivers for Solaris; and of course, the JDBC driver for SQL Server.
Your choices (in no particular order) are :
1. You could reverse engineer the undocumented TDS protocol yourself.
This
could and does change between versions of SQL Server, so only attempt this
if
you want an on-going maintenance challenge. Several people have done such
reverse engineering for the portions of TDS they needed and have reported
it's
not that difficult. Once such is the FreeTDS project that is reverse
engineering the TDS specification and is currently implementing CTLIB,
DBLIB,
and JDBC interfaces for TDS. ODBC and Perl DBD drivers are planned.
The FreeTDS JDBC driver is a type 4 driver and should work on any JVM. The
CTLIB and DBLIB interfaces are known to compile under AIX, Linux, and
FreeBSD
without any problems. More info from <http://sunsite.unc.edu/freetds/>
and/or
<http://metalab.unc.edu/freetds/index.html>.
The mailing list archive can be viewed at
<http://franklin.oit.unc.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=freetds>. Source-code
can be
downloaded from <ftp://freetds.internetcds.com/pub/freetds_dbd/>
<http://metalab.unc.edu/freetds/index.html>
2. If you can use Java/JDBC then see the "jdbc.txt" FAQ entry for details
of
that
3. The recommended option is that you acquire an ODBC/OLE-DB driver from a
driver vendor that will offer on-going support. However, many ODBC vendors
have either moved from pure client drivers to "3-tier" driver systems which
many people don't want, or they have moved from ODBC into OLE-DB.
Therefore
you may have trouble finding just what you want. (Success and failure
stories
welcome - but be persistent with whichever vendors you talk to - they may
not
be actively advertising what you want, but that doesn't mean they don't
still
have old but working copies of it buried in a cupboard somewhere).
Vendors to try are (in no particular order) :-
OpenLink www.openlinksw.com <http://www.openlinksw.com>
Merant (were Intersolv
