Linux and MS SQL Server

hey guys, I need your help again.
I am on Redhat 8 machine and need to be able to access a MS SQL Server 2000 database
on win NT machine using ODBC. I know there are some perl Modules for this namely DBD::ODBC
However, most tutorials are somewhat spotty. The only decent tutorial i found was at http://www.freetds.org
But I still had no luck.
Has anyone been able to access SQL server 2000 database from a perl script on linux? If so, would you be kind enough to guide me through this process?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
will you try to google on "connect SQL server 2000 database from linux" ?
i tried and hundreded of results came, Perl, PHP access and more ..

wish Ya luck ..

of course I searched google and I saw all the results. However, the documentation is kinda spotty. but no matter, I was finally able to get it to work. I will place a tutorial on this hopefully tomorrow. Hopefully it will serve as a one stop tutorial and people will no longer have to go through hours of searching as I did :)

Thanks for you help abuzant3d
