Seems like there are a fair number of people out there crying for this..
I haven't found anything ideal either.. there is sybase-ctlib which connects
through sybase's proprietary C access library (open connect???)..
I'm told that works but I wanted something more "free"..
Also SQL-Relay should offer an option (use Ruby's SQL-Relay driver and
connect to a SQL-Relay that goes to Sybase).. but I haven't tried that
either..
In theory using GNOME-DB might work as well (haven't looked into that one at
all).. but they are all hacks compared to a good native ruby library or
something based on freeTDS.
