From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FreeTDS is an open source (free software) programming library, a re-implementation of the Tabular Data Stream protocol. It can be used in place of Sybase's db-lib or ct-lib libraries. It also includes an ODBC library. It allows many open source applications such as Perl and PHP (or any C or C++ program) to connect to Sybase ASE or Microsoft SQL Server.

FreeTDS is a source code library, not a program in and of itself. Users generally compile the library from source and link another program to the library to allow the other program to use the FreeTDS API. It is licensed under terms of the GNU LGPL license.

For a Java implementation, see jTDS.

It works on SQL Server 2005 64-bit edition.
