+ or Install first FreeTDS, then configure one of the two ODBC engines to use FreeTDS as its ODBC driver. Then use the commandline interface of the ODBC engine. UnixODBC has isql, iODBC has iodbctest You can also use your favorite programming language (I've successfully used Perl, C, Python and Ruby to connect to MSSQL) I'm personally using FreeTDS + iODBC: $more /etc/freetds/freetds.conf 10.0.1.251 host = 10.0.1.251 port = 1433 tds version = 8.0 $ more /etc/odbc.ini ACCT Driver = /usr/local/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so Description = ODBC to SQLServer via FreeTDS Trace = No Servername = 10.0.1.251 Database = accountsver8. Sqsh + freetds sqsh was primarily an isql replacement for Sybase SQL Server (now ASE) but it works just fine for connecting to SQL Server (provided you use freetds). To compile, simply point $SYBASE to freetds install and it should work from there. I use it on my Mac all day. The best part of sqsh are the advanced features, such as dead simple server linking (no need to set up linked servers in SQL Server), flow control and looping (no more concatenating strings and executing dynamic SQL), and invisible bulk copy/load.
