Looking at the synaptic offerings for microsoft sql, there are a couple more possibilities:
There is a Perl module, libdi-perl, about which the comments say BI (DataBase Interface) is a Perl framework that provides a common interface to access various backend databases in a uniform manner. DBD (DataBase Driver) modules provide implementations for various backend data storage mechanisms including networked relational databases (particularly SQL databases) and even web services such as the Google search engine. It is extremely portable and available for a wide range of operating systems, architectures and data stores, including: * Oracle * Microsoft SQL Server * IBM DB2 * SQLite * PostgreSQL * Firebird * MySQL Then there is a package called sqsh, about which the comments say sqsh is a flexible commandline utility that uses the freetds libraries to connect to Sybase or Microsoft SQL servers. It is a useful debugging tool for identifying problems with other SQL applications, and it can be used as a productivity tool in its own right: unlike most SQL CLIs, sqsh's interactive shell lets you pipe the output of SQL queries directly to other Unix commands for further processing. Hope one of these is some use!
