How can i use embbed sql(e.g. SQC) program to access MSSQL from linux or unix?

hello all!
Help!
I've a lot of programs written in sqlc to mssql on the windows platform.Now the boss wants to use linux server and I've to tune all my programs in sqlc to linux.But how to do it?Does anyone help me?Don't have any experience in linux, thought this link (http://www.linux.org/apps/AppId_8044.html) may give you required information.

HTH|||Thanks, but this link was on MySQL, not MSSQL. I also have some information on this through using freeTDS or DBI, but on embedded sql, I found nothing!:(|||Then may be you need to do other way round, how about this link?

How can I track what canges a field?

I'm guessing there is no easy way to do this. I inherated a database and
many codebases that hit that database. One of the programs is inacuratly
adjusting the stock field and none of them log they're activity. Outside of
a bunch of programming (which will be done eventually) is there any way I
can track what changed the value and when? The only thing I can think of is
running a trace with SQL Profiler but I think I have to capture all activity
for the database, not just the spisific table or record, or field. The
database has way to much activity to trace for more than a few min. and we
may go a day or so before having a problem.Perhaps you can create a trigger that writes to a log table each time the
column is updated. You can record when, by whom and sometime the
application.
