題目: [Exim] Testers Needed?
Hi,

In the light of my query about Exim and MS-SQL Database support, I have
started coding a database engine for Linux (ONLY) using the FreeTDS
Libraries (Slightly modified).

At the moment, I am facing a bit of a problem. This is coded in Windows
Notepad. I do not have access to a Linux machine at current, and well disk
space is also not to optimum. Therefor, I need a few people to help me code
this engine, which will hopefully be ported to Exim at a later stage to
provide Exim with MS-SQL support. At the end, I also wish to provide a DB
platform which will be totally portable through all OSes and all the DB
platforms arround today.

Here are some of my notes about my current MS-SQL Database Engine.
/*
* MS-SQL.c
*
* A simple command-line client for MS SQL server.
* Designed for executing commands on the underlying operating system rather
than SQL engine.
* That said, it has the ability to perform SQL queries on the server.
* Also added file upload system - usually works ;-) if it fails, try again.
*
* Setup to login as the user 'sa' with no password by default, although
this can be changed.
*
* KNOWN BUGS
* -=-=-=-=-=-
* - after queries that return no data, all further queries fail.Must
restart MS-SQL. Buggy TDS library.
* - the upload seems only to work every second try... needs investigation
*
* TO DO
* -=-=-
* - add a 'download' function to leech files from target server
* - perhaps migrate away from freeTDS to a stable library... if I can find
a good open-source jobby
* - various aesthetics
* - tidy up some of the messy stuff
* - I'm sure I'll think of something else....

Yes, in the light of what you just read, for testing purposes, this engine
is NOT suitable for use with Exim just yet. It is something in the line of
a bash console for MS-SQL Servers, allowing a remote console in the SQL
Database engine on any remote host. Part of this code was originally posted
on BugTraq as a exploit for a security flaw in MS-SQL Server by not setting
passwords for the 'sa' (Systems Administrator) account. I have ported and
are modifying this code now, to hopefully make a success of what will be the
first MS-SQL driver for Linux?

If you are interested in supporting me and perhaps just beta testing this
code for me, I will need from you that you run Linux, and have access to a
MS-SQL Server Database over a network. (Is there anyone else except me
running this type of configuration?)

Thank you all in advance, and I hope I will be able to make a success out of
this.

PS: Yes yes, the code is currently a TOTAL MESS!!!! What do you expect
when you have to sit in Windows Notepad and programm C for Linux? :)
