Martin: Haven't needed to try it myself, but how about a Perl DBI/DBD solution? - Barry -- Barry Byrne, IT Manager, WBT Systems, Block 2, Harcourt Centre Harcourt Street, Dublin 2, Ireland -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Martin McCormick We may need to make sql queries to a Microsoft server from a FreeBSD system. I am in an area of which I am totally unfamiliar and there is a bit of a time factor involved. The object is to retrieve text files containing the results of the query so that scripts can be generated based upon the information. That, I can handle. The problem is in figuring out the best way to access the MS server from here. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
