I need to read an M$-SQLServer database from an conectiva linux machine.
Is there an free alternative to mxODBC or a simpler way to do that then the one described on: http://www.zope.org/Members/zorton/zope_linux_to_mssqlserver
Nope. Pay or prepare to do some gymnastics. Maybe someday there will be a free cross-platform ODBC, but that day is not today. I've not tried the setup in the howto, but it doesn't seem unreasonably complex for what it does. --jcc
