Just some details about ODBC and FreeTDS:

On Unix plattforms, there's no native ODBC driver for MS SQL Server 
available. Instead, the FreeTDS client provides connectivity to them 
and the unixODBC/iODBC projects also use the FreeTDS client as base. For 
Windows, Microsoft only provides an ODBC driver because this is the 
native client of their choice.
