I'm sorry.  I wasn't clear enough.  I don't believe there are ODBC
drivers for MS SQL on Linux, since those drivers have to be provided
by MS, and I doubt they are going to do that for Linux, or you could
ask Trigdell reverse engineer it..................................but
that might upset someone......................

Although.........there would be a certain irony to using Windows as
the Server and Linux as the desktop.........  :-)

However,  I did find these 2 links that might be of interest to you.

And, this might very well be your ticket.  It's not ODBC, but I think
it might make it go.....
