I was able to install freetds on ubuntu 7.04. This is my /tmp/odbc.ini part. [TESTSQL] Driver = FreeTDS Description = FreeTDS SQL Server ODBC driver Server = testsql.my.com Port = 1433 Database = ruby User = Password = Mars_Connection = No Logging = 0 LogFile = QuotedId = Yes AnsiNPW = Yes Language = Version7 = No ClientLB = No Failover_Partner = VarMaxAsLong = No And am using DBI odbc driver. require 'dbi' dbs = DBI.connect('DBI:ODBC:TESTSQL', 'usr', 'pwd') It works with rails too, minus UTF-8 support. But that can be managed too. by TheR -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
