(RADIATOR) Mac OS X Questions

[Marcel Brown]

A few more questions regarding Mac OS X and MS SQL access

If connecting to MS SQL from ODBC on UNIX requires an ODBC driver, 
where can I get a driver? Do people here have experience with this on 
Mac OS X?

I keep reading that DBD-Sybase is compatible with MS-SQL. If I were 
to use DBD-Sybase instead of DBD-ODBC, do I still need an additional 
driver? Anyone here have experience using DBD-Sybase for MS SQL with 
any UNIX, not just Mac OS X?

Thanks!
Marcel
