MS don't provide any Linux client software, but there is at least one open source version. SQL Server speaks a protocol called Tabular Data Stream, or TDS, and the FreeTDS project has created an open-source version, including an ODBC driver. Their website at freetds.org seems to be down at present. -- John Dallman _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
