Accessing MS SQL Server from Revolution on Linux

[Ben Rubinstein]

As the title says... I want to access Microsoft SQL Server databases, from a 
Revolution app, running on Windows.  I've done this for years on Mac and 
Windows, via ODBC; on Windows always using Microsoft's bundled ODBC drivers, 
on Mac using variously ones from OpenLink and Actual.

Is anyone currently doing this?  Can you recommend ODBC drivers?  I've heard 
bad things about ODBC on Linux, am I entering a world of pain?  Any tips, 
suggestions, or warnings you can give me?

TIA,

- Ben
