We used Ruby on Rails with an SQL Server at my previous work.
We used TinyTDS which uses FreeTDS. It worked surprisingly well
but it did had some problems. One of those problems were
encoding problems, but that mostly because we used an older
version of SQL Server.
It was probably around 2011 when last I used FreeTDS, and even
then I think it was an older version, so it's quite possible
those issues have been resolved. My bias against it probably
unjustified. We are only targeting Windows anyway so ODBC is
probably a safe bet.
