Here's what I've learned about connecting to ODBC from C++ apps. It is best
to program the app to interact with a driver manager API instead of a
specific driver. The two main free driver managers available on Linux are
unixODBC++ (unixodbc.org) and iODBC (iodbc.org). However, using one of these
managers still requires a driver that is specific the database you want to
work with. Drivers for MS SQL 7 are available from Easysoft (easysoft.com),
and Open Link Software (openlinksw.com). Prices for these drivers start from
$800-1700. A remaining question is weather or not the Merant MS SQL Driver
that ships with ColdFusion 4.5 Professional can be used from outside
ColdFusion itself. Any ideas?

ANY input is appreciated. Am I off course here?

Thanks,

Camden
