Re: Unix applications and supported MSSQL driver

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi

A 3rd party vendor has a driver: DataDirect Connect for ODBC - Solaris -
V5.2
http://www.datadirect.com/products/odbc/index.ssp
v5.2 supports SQL Server 2005.

Microsoft does not support the driver, Data Direct are the support point for
issues that can not be reproduced using OLE DB or SQL Native Client on
Microsoft Windows.

Dear experts

I have a customer requirement. App is a C application deployed on
Solaris.
The database is inteded to be MS SQL SERVER 2000 or 2005.

Before I even get started, will Microsoft support such a mix - i.e.,
connecting to SQL Server from unix.

Does a supported driver exist?

Thanks
