Hi,

SQLServer means Microsoft SQL Server?
Or some other db?
MS SQL Server runs on W$ machines, not on *nix.

If you are going to query M$ SQL SERVER, you need some layer in between to
help you from *nix. (Several solutions exist)

If you have another DB, please say which one, and we can help better.
