“ODBC Socket Server is an open source database access toolkit
that allows Linux (and other TCP/IP clients) to access Microsoft
databases such as SQL Server or Access.”
“Team FXML is proud to announce the initial release of ODBC
Socket Server, the premier open source database access toolkit.
Using ODBC Socket Server, connecting to Windows databases is
possible from Linux, UNIX, Macintosh, or any TCP/IP compatible
platform. ODBC Socket Server can be downloaded from
http://odbc.linuxbox.com/.”
“Released under the Gnu Public License (GPL), ODBC Socket
Server finally delivers a solid, well-documented Windows data
access toolkit for all TCP/IP capable operating systems. ODBC
Socket Server uses an XML protocol to transfer data from the
Windows NT ODBC Socket Service to TCP/IP clients (clients for COM,
C++, and Perl interfaces are included with the distribution with
source provided).”
