The Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 is now available (in preview form):
The preview ODBC drivers for Linux now supports Ubuntu, RedHat and SUSE. This is Microsoft’s first ODBC Driver for SQL Server release supporting Ubuntu. You can now enjoy enterprise level support while connecting to SQL Server from Ubuntu. It also updates the drivers to unixODBC driver manager 2.3.1 support.
Full interoperability with distributions of Linux is something I’ve waited a long, long time for. This is one tiny step closer.
