I'm considering making FreeTDS directly accessible from the Ruby
language (http://www.ruby-lang.org/), removing the requirement of using
ODBC. I think the best option for this will be to use SWIG
(http://www.swig.org/), and was wondering if SWIG has ever been used to
wrap FreeTDS (for any language). I would love to be able to stand on
someone else's shoulders.

Database drivers don't really SWIG well, IMHO. You probably want to
implement just enough C code to create a freetds ruby/dbi driver.

What is it about DB drivers that makes them not SWIG well? I'm definitely dealing outside of my comfort zone here...

Thanks,
