Don't hold your breath. Microsoft won't support (for political reasons) _anything_ on UNIX anytime soon. HOWEVER, Q+E/Intersolv (one of the biggest ODBC vendors around) IS offering ODBC on UNIX. Short term (end of July) Solaris 1.1 will be available. Other platforms/OSs to follow.

Q+E used to have a Beta test program until Intersolve bought them. No beta test opportunities anymore.
