TCP/IP Connectivity

[Eddie Gieze]

Is it possible to approach a MS SQL Server using TCP/IP? I have looked
everywhere but have not found any documentation about the protocol to
connect to MS SQL Server.

I wish to connect to MS SQL Server directly through TCP/IP, without using MS
libraries (since i am not doing this on a windows system).

Thanks in advance,
Eddie Gieze

MSSQL listens on TCP/IP by default - here are some options when you
need to connect from non-Windows operating systems:

Hi Simon,

Yes you can connect using TCP/IP. Unsure of the procedure anyway!!!
