Connection between SCO UNIX and Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 using BCP(sisql)

[Alex Bringas]

Hello,
I am trying to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 from a SCO box (version 3.2v4.2)using sisql/bcp (sybase product). I can connect to a 6.5 database but when I try the same script to connect to 7.0 I get the following message: DB-LIBRARY error:
Unable to connect: SQL Server is unavailable or does not exist.
Is there anything I can do in order to fix this problem? Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Alex,

I believe that it is because the TDS layer in SQL Server 7.0 has changed so much that you cannot connect as you could to 6.5. I cannot connect using Sybase SQLAdvantage on NT to a SQL Server 7.0 on NT (but just like you I can still connect to SQL Server 6.5)
