Debian and FreeTDS

Installing SugarCRM on our Debian server for some testing of interaction between Sugar on Linux and its data on MS-SQL on Windows.

So freeTDS is a supporting tool to make the database connections from Linux based PHP to Sybase and MS-SQL database servers.

Problem was that trying to locate the correct freeTDS stuff to install was a bit obscure.

FreeTDS is not listed as such for apt-get on Debian.

It is freetds-dev or tdsodbc.

apt-get install freetds-dev

or

apt-get install tdsodbc
