Connect to a SQL server from AIX
Hello aix community,
After scouring the internet to find a step by step process, I've exhausted my efforts. Although I have learned a lot which brings me to this forum. I'm totally new and hope to ask the right questions.
What is the easiest way to connect to a SQL server from aix?
Researching out there, it seems that there are a couple of options:
Data Direct driver
FreeTDS
unixODBC
I hope someone here in the community can either point me in the right direction or share with me some resources and even a step by step if they have one
What am I'm trying to do?
Where I work, we use aix as our main os. We also have a SQL server that houses a lot of our data.
All I want to do is create an aix query that will allow me to connect to a SQL server. From that connection, I want to create an ODBC connect that will allow me to read a dbo table and then create a file with my criteria.
How can you help?
1. High level view of the sequence of steps I need to take to install a driver on aix and probably something on the SQL server side that will allow me to connect to a SQL server. What driver should I use to connect the two?
Thanks in advance for your help!

mssql_connect
MSSQL_CONNECT(3) MSSQL_CONNECT(3)
mssql_connect - Open MS SQL server connection
SYNOPSIS
resource mssql_connect ([string $servername], [string $username], [string $password], [bool $new_link = false])
DESCRIPTION
mssql_connect(3) establishes a connection to a MS SQL server.
The link to the server will be closed as soon as the execution of the script ends, unless it's closed earlier by explicitly calling
mssql_close(3).
PARAMETERS
o $servername
- The MS SQL server. It can also include a port number, e.g. hostname:port (Linux), or hostname,port (Windows).
o $username
- The username.
o $password
- The password.
o $new_link
- If a second call is made to mssql_connect(3) with the same arguments, no new link will be established, but instead, the link
identifier of the already opened link will be returned. This parameter modifies this behavior and makes mssql_connect(3) always
open a new link, even if mssql_connect(3) was called before with the same parameters.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a MS SQL link identifier on success, or FALSE on error.
