Hello all. It looks like I am going to be in a position where I will need to access SQL server from a linux machine. I have done some googling around and have seen various tutorials using tortuous setups of FreeTDS and ODBC trickery. The thing I have noticed is that all these tutorials and Wiki entries appear to be rather old (2005-2006) and I am not exactly sure what the CURRENT status of rails SQL server support in Linux is? Has anyone tried it recently? My fervent hope is that it has all been sorted hunky dory and I can just use the standard adapter without trouble ;) Hey, a guy can dream can''t he? thanks Jeff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Sadly, you still (or at least I had to when setting the server up) have to jump through hoops to get it running, but it sure isn''t impossible. -- Jakob Skjerning - http://mentalized.net --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''m still having to do FreeTDS trickery to hit my SQL Server DB. Luckily it''s well documented.
