Olivier Bertrand added a comment - 2015-04-21 13:01 This is some of what I found on the web about DBCTP: On http://freecode.com/projects/dbtc Effective 2014-06-18 Freecode is no longer being updated (content may be stale). Freecode Logo Projects / dbtcp dbtcp 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.

Allow to make a query from a linux machine to a database in a Windows machine trough ODBC. Allow to connect all ODBC compliant databases from a Linux server from shell scripts, perl via DBD and PHP. DBTCP is released under GPL. Why a proxy for odbc connections ? The main reason for using dbtcp is the lack of support for a few odbc databases under Linux and the fact that you can use multiple dbtcp clients on a pay-per-odbc-connection database management system. Where I can get it ? Source for the client part ( tested only on linux ) and binary windows server. ( Latest version 0.1.18 - 14 Jul 2004 ) dbtcp We use DBFTP for dumping databases from Windows ( MDB ) to a Linux machine running mysql, also we use the same client library to create dynamic html pages on linux based on data avalaible only on Windows machine. Can I run dbtcp as a NT service ? Yes, you can run dbtcp as a service using firedaemon. Data dumping from Windows to MySQL To dump data from a remote DSN to mysql you can do something like this: echo "SELECT * FROM mytable" | dbtcp DSN=mydsn myserver > /export/data.sql echo "LOAD DATA INFILE '/export/data.sql' INTO TABLE mytable FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '\''" | mysql mydatabase Changes Forum Downloads ------------> Not operational (grayed) On https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/breezy/i386/dbtcp/0.1.17-4.2ubuntu1 dbtcp 0.1.17-4.2ubuntu1 (i386 binary) in ubuntu breezy Breezy (5.10) i386 dbtcp 0.1.17-4.2ubuntu1 Miscellaneous command-line DBTCP utils DBTCP is a proxy server for ODBC connections, which allows you to make a connection from a UNIX machine to a Windows ODBC source, among other things. You can connect via standard command-line utils (provided in this package), a Perl DBD module (in the libdbd-dbftp-perl package), or via PHP bindings (in the php4-dbtcp package). . This package does not provide the binary-only Windows server. The server is available from http://www.fastflow.it/dbtcp.
