does anyone know off hand, or from personal experience what the limitations of a FreeDTS solution are in terms of dealing with mssql2000 and/or 2005? (this seems to be FreeDTS based) I seem to remember Ed mentioned he started down this track, but had to abort due to time constraints.
on native windows you can lever sqldmo and oledb,adodb and all that other msdac stuff inside python, but till they release it natively for *ix (insert refs to pigs flying, hell freezing over etc) - I think the legacy of its sybase origins (using FreeDTS) is all there is - so that sets a ceiling on what can be done - anyone know what that ceiling is? glenn On Thu, 2006-09-14 at 00:38 -0400, Ed Leafe wrote: > On Sep 14, 2006, at 12:29 AM, Paul McNett wrote: > > > It looks to me, at a first glance, that pymssql may be the ticket: > > > > http://pymssql.sourceforge.net > > > > Play around with it in pure Python, and if it seems capable, it > > will be straightforward to get it wrapped in Dabo. > > I've asked about this in several fora online, and the consensus > seems to be that you need a different solution for Windows than for > Everything Else.
