Ubuntu -> MS SQL

ethos · 24 Feb 2009 at 11:36

Hi guys

I've found found various articles on this but am interesting on peoples personal experiences with setting this up.

Looking to be able to connect to our Ms SQL db from linux (ubuntu server) to run queries etc...

I should imagine I'd need an initial config then would be able to just use php for the queries.

Thanks

By MS SQL do you mean SQL Server?

I assume you don't mean to run the database on Ubuntu?

Yes, I mean Microsoft SQL server.

I only need to connect/run queries to it.

FreeTDS is an impementation of the Tabular DataStream protocol, used for
connecting to MS SQL and Sybase servers over TCP/IP.

This package manages the configuration files that are common to all of
the TDS client library implementations (CT-Lib, DB-Lib, and ODBC),
stored in /etc/freetds/.
