can you expand on this? i intend to use pymssql / freetds for writing
production applications, though i haven't used them before.
Us too, though we have used them before. FWIW, they have been working problem-free for over 2 years, though in a low-volume environment.
is there no way to confidently access ms sql servers from a
python-on-*n*x application platform?
I've been doing a bit of research on this over the last couple of days. The more research I do into this, the more it appears that just about every open source interface that talks to either Sybase or mssql from *nix platforms in fact uses FreeTDS under the covers, including mxODBC, Perl's DBI/DBD, and most of the *nix ODBC projects. So maybe it's not as risky as I thought.
There are also some commercially supported non-FreeTDS ODBC drivers, but I know of no Python DBAPI modules for them:

I hope all this helps more than confuses. Let me know what you find in your research. I am keenly interested in this.
