To answer the question another way, I am working on a project that needs to be able to run on Windows and on Linux (and maybe on Mac, but haven't gotten that far yet). I am using FreeTDS to connect to an MS-SQL Server database. Using Linux as my development platform, I have had no problems cross-compiling FreeTDS for Windows and using it in the cross-compiled program running on Windows. Note that I am still using 0.82 -- one of these days I'll give .91 a try, but for now my energy is best spent elsewhere.

The answer should be yes and then it is a matter of what do you do with it after that. The answer is whatever you want :) In my case, I wrote ruby C extensions to make a driver for Ruby. You or others should be able to do the same. > > - Ken > > > > Hi, Is there such a thing as FreeTDS driver for windows ? > > > > Thanks, > > Dave. > > _______________________________________________ > FreeTDS mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/freetds
