Hi,
We're using Oracle 10G on Suse Linux. To enable a connection to SQLServer 
I've set up an ODBC-connection with FreeTDS and unixODBC. The connection 
works as can be tested with FreeTDS' tsql and unixODBC's isql.

The server is defined like this:
===
[snorred]
       host = snorred
       port = 1433
       tds version = 8.0
===

Tsql's output is like this:
===
oradba@wickie02:~/OraHome_1/network/admin> tsql -S snorred -U sa -C
Compile-time settings (established with the "configure" script):
                           Version: freetds v0.63
    MS db-lib source compatibility: no
       Sybase binary compatibility: unknown
                     Thread safety: yes
                     iconv library: yes
                       TDS version: 5.0
                             iODBC: no
                          unixodbc: yes
===

(I don't know why there is this mismatch with TDS-version)



I've set up the hsodbc connection similar to a working connection to MySQL. 
When issuing select statements from within Oracle I get:

===
SQL> select * from bla@snorred;
select * from bla@snorred
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this 
message:

Any hints are very welcome,
Stephan
