Re: ODBC

Yes! Unfortunately, you'll have to install the special driver on the Linux/Unix becuase of the communication difference between UNIX & Windows as well as the language difference between these two. I tried using iODBC and openLINK. After 1 1/2 years, I decided that open source code for this is no good because they are not compactable and it is such a big, big pain in the butt!!! So, I ended up moving the website on UNIX to windows. Why, because of the way the data type is being coverted between 2 platform and character length or type is strictly limited. I have not tried to buy such a $600 or $800 driver software to see how well it does because it is a waste of money and MS kept changing the programming in the MS Access and MS SQL making the drivers useless.
