hi friend,
I want to connect from a linux box (redhat 5.2 and postgresql 6.5) to
the data base
MS -SQL server of microsoft, by means of ODBC interface.
Is it possible?
The postgresSQL is the client y the MS-SQL is the server.
thank's for all

There may be some confusion here. PostgreSQL is an SQL server. There
are, additionally, several interfaces included in the PostgreSQL package
which client applications on various platforms and languages need to
communicate to the PostgreSQL. One of these interfaces is the ODBC
driver library. This interface like all the other included interfaces,
is written to ONLY communicate to the PostgreSQL server.
MS distributes its own SQL Server, client side, interfaces. I'm not
sure what interfaces exist (if any), in the MS world, which will allow a
Linux box to host client programs for a MS-SQL Server.

OK,
There may be some confusion here. PostgreSQL is an SQL server.
There
are, additionally, several interfaces included in the PostgreSQL

to
communicate to the PostgreSQL. One of these interfaces is the
ODBC
driver library. This interface like all the other included
interfaces,
is written to ONLY communicate to the PostgreSQL server.
I know it, but I'm searching a client which will must to connect with
Microsoft SQL server 6.5, the client is linux box. The interface to use
is OBDC.
Is unavoidable the use of the data base MS-SQL server :(
There is a application for to do it??????
Best regard,

AFAIK ODBC drivers are for M$ platforms only.

To the best of my knowledge: NO!

You may have some luck using SyBase client libraries, AFAIK the
early MSSQL used the same protocols (was probably a port of SyBase)
Search for sometihing called cbt (I think there is/was even a project
to develop free sybase client libs for linux)
Your other alternative is to try running DOS clients (if there are
such) inside DOSEMU on linux and create an interface for them.
Probably not very effective nor easy.
Or just write to Microsoft and demand client libraries for Linux ;)
Or perhaps they have client libs or command line client for SCO or
Unixware or Solaris that would run with IBCS.
