There is this funny comment:

Quote:
The following SQL Server Database Engine features are supported in
the next version of SQL Server,


but will be removed in a later version. The specific version of SQL
Server has not been determined.

...

First of all we have at least 6 years :-) (next: 2011, future:2014,
guessing)
It appears that they have moved DB-Library removal further ahead. It
was listed under "the next version" during the beta phase of SQL 2008.

But in any case, it would be crazy to convert DB-Lib to ESQL-C. With
both you will suffer quite a few restrictions of what you can use in
SQL Server, since you don't have support for data types added in SQL 7
or later.

Also I am not aware about odbc drivers on Unix and mainframe.
You will have to excuse my lack of clairvoyance. Of course I should
have understood that you were on Unix, even if you did not say it, and
not just blindly assume that you were on Windows.

I have a short summary of connection options for Unix on
http://www.sommarskog.se/mssqlperl/unix.html. There are a few ODBC
products as I recall.
