Does freetds work with Netezza, the data warehouse?

OK, it may be hopeless, but I'll try again, this time with no smileys.

Q. Does FreeTDS work with XYZ?

A. If XYZ is capable of calling a library written in C, has TCP/IP networking, an ANSI C compiler, and adequate build tools available,[1] and has a reason to function AS A CLIENT to database servers from Microsoft or Sybase, the answer is yes. For everything else, the answer is no.

[1] Less common toolchains may require additional build support.
