Could someone give me an orientation on the use of any version of SQL Server?

I'm working with version 2003 at the moment.

There's no SQL Server 2003... there's 2000, 2005, 2008... but no 2003. - Michael Fredrickson

@JNK While I agree that SO is not about asking for library in general, this is a very specific case. There are only a handful of possibilities here. This won't lead to a primarily opionion based discussion. - Jens Mühlenhoff

There is a C library freetds that allows you to natively talk to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases.

In order to use it in vala you need to create a "vapi file" (probably writing it manually) containing the class and method declarations in Vala syntax

In addition to the freetds library that o3o mentioned you can use unixODBC to access Microsoft SQL Server.

There are multiple unixODBC drivers for Microsoft SQL Server:

There is also a list of unixODBC drviers on their homepage.

There is no readily available vapi file for unixODBC at the time of this writing. I'm working on a two layered approach for this. It's not finished yet, but might be useful someday ;).
