        Hi,

        Well I managed to get the test code compiled, but I am now very
confused, and can find no docs.

        Firstly, there seems to be three layers - tds, dblib and ctlib.
Why? which one do I, as a humble
        application developer trying to talk to SQL Server from a linux
machine need to use? Are the API's
        actually documented anywhere?

        I tried to get one of the test progs to actually do something.
For no particular reason I picked tdstest.c
        and made some changes, specifically:

        put my passwod in the call to tds_set_passwd
        put my username in the call to tds_set_user
        put the host name of my SQL Server in tds_set_host

        And then compiled and ran it. I get a 'connect: network is
unreachable' error.

        One thing that springs to mind is I believe that SQL Server uses
a different port (1433) than
        Sybase, and I couldn't see anywhere to set a port address.

        Can anyone point me at some info please?

        Regards,
        Jonno.
