It depends on your application. Presumably it will work for a low volume app and not for a high volume app. You can presumably use, the open source unixODBC driver, I didn't in part because my client was not interested, and in part because using the supported version from easysoft got me some documentation and some useful emails that explained how things work. Please feel free to research the free unixODBC method, since the driver itself is known to work, it should now be much easier to swap out the easysoft for the unixODBC code. (And it's very much likely the same code just repackaged, since easysoft uses unixODBC themselves.) >There was talk of a nstdsdb module from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Would this >allow direct access to an MS SQL Server box from my NetBSD box?
