About:
dbtcp is a package of libraries which provides applications on Linux access to ODBC datasources on remote machines running Windows. It allows a Linux application to access data held on a Windows machine (such as MS SQL Server on NT), and includes a command line client, a DBD, and a PHP driver.

[»] runs fine - at least on the unix side
by jlennon - Oct 4th 2002 05:59:30

The unix client part of dbtcp runs really nice. We're using the Perl module in order to import some data from a proprietary database into MySQL.
However, there are a few hassles on the Windows side, but I don't think they are caused by dbtcp.

[»] Is it possible to make dbtcp link_identifier being used by multiple users?
by devin - Jul 28th 2002 21:39:06

Hi,

DBTCP server is working very well on Windows box.
we are wrting an web-based application on linux in
PHP accessing data held on Windows, this
application is using a link_identifier returned by
dbtcp_connect(). If just one user is using this link_id,
dbtcp functions are working very well, but if multiple
users are using this link_id at the same time, It will
not work.

I am not sure it is the problem with php code or the
problem with dbtcp functions.

Regards
devin

[»] Works just fine!

The program is running on on NT4, and RH6.1.
It is fast and works just fine. It is a little complicated to read the source files, all the comments is in Italian.
Good Job!

[»] It works!
by rgibons - Oct 23rd 2001 12:04:47

Tried it to connect to MS SQL 2000 databases and
everything worked as advertised. It was fast and
easy. My only wish is that the windows program
could run as a service so I don't have to have a
user logged in on the Windows 2000 server all the
time.
