# The databases/freetds port

## freetds-0.91.49 – database drivers for Sybase/Microsoft SQL Server

## Description

    FreeTDS is a set of LGPL-licensed libraries that allow your programs
    to natively talk to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases.

    Technically speaking, FreeTDS is an open source implementation of
    the TDS (Tabular Data Stream) protocol used by these databases for
    their own clients. It supports many different flavors of the protocol
    and three APIs to access it. Additionally FreeTDS works with other
    software such as Perl and PHP, providing access from those languages
    as well.

    FreeTDS has many possible uses. It has been used by Unix/Linux
    webservers to present data stored in SQL Server to the web, to port
    SQL Server database code from NT to Unix, to import data into SQL
    Server from a Unix source, and to provide database access on platforms
    (such as realtime systems) that have no native drivers.
