Hello James thanks for the warm welcome.  I should correct myself typo -  
it's FreeTDS     http://www.freetds.org/   

At your organization/office do you use FreeTDS to "talk" to SQL Server?  My 
workplace is using that with
SQL 2000 running  on Windows  and using an OSX PhP front-end for the web.

I'm wondering if I could upgrade the database from SQL 2000 to SQL 2012.   

per the FAQ http://www.freetds.org/faq.html#What.is.FreeTDS  maybe my 
question is answered:

 Does version X of FreeTDS connect to version Y of my Microsoft or Sybase 
server?

"For the last several years, every version of FreeTDS has been able to 
communicate with every kind of TDS server. New servers sometimes introduce 
new protocol features, but the changes are small, and they're always 
compatible with old clients. Generally, you should use the latest version of 
the TDS protocol for your server. See the User Guide for details."

Sorry, a quick googlelation of "tdsfree" didn't turn up anything obvious.  
What is this thing of which you speak?
