| Damn, I'm just full of fun and games today.I'm also playing with Jabber, a cool open source IM solution. More info available at www.jabber.org and www.jabbercentral.comJabber supports ODBC connectivity through its xdb_sql connector, which can use ODBC. That, in turn, allows all authentication, storage of spooled messages, etc, to be done against an ODBC database. Seems perfect for my needs.However, I just can't seem to find a decent ODBC bridge or ODBC SqlServer driver for Linux that doesn't cost thousands of dollars. Has anyone done this kind of thing? Am I missing something? What Linux ODBC driver are you using?Thanks-b |

| Have a look at [url]http://www.freetds.org/[/url]I have never had the need to use it and I'm not sure what features it supports (i.e. it may not support all the features of SQL 2000) but others have reported some success using it.HTHJasper Smith |
