What I do at work
We have an application on the Unix side that has a job that creates a comma delimited file every night. That file gets written to a specific directory. I have that directory shared out using Samba. Our Microsoft SQL admin then has a daily job that imports the data file into the SQL tables using a UNC path to the Samba share on the Unix box. Works like a charm.

As the other comment noted, we need more specifics to really address your particular situation, but... the basics are:

1. Set up a script or use the functionality of your Unix application to generate a comma delimited data file
2. Use cron to schedule that job to happen at a specified interval (daily, hourly, etc...)
3. Use some kind of file transfer protocol (Samba, FTP, SCP, NFS) to allow your SQL server to grab that data file
4. Set up a script or use the functionality of your SQL application to import the comma delimited data file

alzabo::debug

Alzabo::Debug(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					Alzabo::Debug(3pm)

NAME

       Alzabo::Debug - Creates constants used to turn on debugging

SYNOPSIS

	 export ALZABO_DEBUG='SQL|TRACE'

	 ... load and run code using Alzabo ...

	 export ALZABO_DEBUG=METHODMAKER

	 ... load and run code using Alzabo ...

DESCRIPTION

       This module creates constants used by other modules in order to determine what debugging output should be generated.

       The interface is currently experimental.

USAGE

       Currently, the only way to turn on debugging is by setting the "ALZABO_DEBUG" environment variable.  This variable can contain various
       flags, each separated by a pipe char (|).  Each flag turns on different types of debugging output.

       These flags must be set before Alzabo is loaded, as debugging is turned on or off through the use of constants.

       The current flags are:

       * SQL
	   Generated SQL and its associated bound variables.

       * TRACE
	   A stack trace will be generated any time SQL is generated.

       * METHODMAKER
	   The "Alzabo::MethodMaker" module will generate verbose output describing the methods it is creating.

       * REVERSE_ENGINEER
	   The modules involved in reverse-engineering will generate output describing what it finds during reverse-engineering.

       * ALL
	   Turn on all flags.

       For now, all debugging output is sent to "STDERR".
