Package: SQLynx
System name: sqlynx
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

In this age of hybrid networks and constant migration, the need exists for 
Linux systems to be able to communicate with non-native database servers.  The 
goal of the SQLynx project is to create a Microsoft SQL Server compatible API, 
based on the FreeTDS API/protocol.  Care will be taken to implement class 
methods in a manner consistant with common \'recordset\' objects.  SQLynx 
should be compatible with any version of SQL server since the SyBase/Microsoft 
split.

This \'recordset\' object is developed/debuged and being used to connect to SQL 
server 7.0 from RedHat 7.1 in a manufacturing environment for data collection.

Information about \'freeTDS\' is available at www.freeTDS.org.
