Subject: Re: Ruby Sybase

Seems like there are a fair number of people out there crying for this.. 

I haven't found anything ideal either.. there is sybase-ctlib which connects 
through sybase's proprietary C access library (open connect???)..

I'm told that works but I wanted something more "free"..

Also SQL-Relay  should offer an option (use Ruby's SQL-Relay driver and 
connect to a SQL-Relay that goes to Sybase).. but I haven't tried that 
either..

In theory using GNOME-DB might work as well (haven't looked into that one at 
all).. but they are all hacks compared to a good native ruby library or 
something based on freeTDS.
