Database connectivity

[SectorUnknown]

Thank you for your help.

What I'm hearing though, is that there isn't an open source way to write an application for 
both Linux and Windows and have it access an MS-SQL server. Is this true?

mxODBC requires a license and PDO appears to require mxODBC to run. (I work for a company and 
the program would be developed for internal use.)

Is there another opportunity I'm missing?
