Connecting to SQL server from Linux

Am trying to connect to SQL Server 2000 from a Debian Linux installation. What would be the best place to get documentation on this? Is using Open-TDS recommended (is there any other way)?

will greatly appreciate any assistance.

thanks

If Java is an option for you then you may want to consider the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver v1.1, which was just released today and is available for download at http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/jdbc .

It supports both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005, and, because it is a Type 4 JDBC driver, it runs just fine on Linux. See the link above, for all the feature details and documentation.

Thank you,
