  Hi,

  I've applications on Unix machine (will stay this way). How can I connect SQL Server from these Unix applications? Is there any driver/provider product you would recommend?

  Thanks.

  John

  You can try the JDBC Driver.

  INet's driver might be better for this - the last time that we compared the performance of this with Microsoft's JDBC driver the MSFT dirver performed very poorly in load tests.  However, MSFT's driver was in beta 1 version at that time so things might be better now.

  Here is the link to INet's driver:
