Hi there,

Do you guys know about any implementation of the freetds protocol in  
Ruby? If not, it’s possible to implement i? Or there’s some kind of  
constraints in doing it ?

I’ve found this project, [http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubytds/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubytds/), but  
there’s no activity there for quite sometime.

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Thiago

Doesn’t Ruby have a C-interface? Wouldn’t the first step be to wrap the  
existing C interface in a Ruby package then idiom-ize it?
