There's 3 main choices: 1) use the Sybase libraries (this will worth with
SQLserver 6.5 natively and with 7 if you apply some 'compatilibity' patches
available from Microsoft) against the DBD-Sybase perl module. I posted a
cookbook way of getting this done a few months ago.
2) use FreeTDS and DBD-Sybase - when I tried this
it was an exciting mix of linking alpha software with alpha software :) It's
probably much better now.
3) use OpenLink. I'm not very up on databases, so
when I looked at this I just went "huh?". It was hard enough finding out
whether the product would support Linux (glibc2) and SQLserver.
