Using DataDirect, we had done some evaluation in the past. Performance
was great and no significant problems with that we could find. 
 
We couldn't implement as the focus was shifted towards EAI with
webservices/SOA design, so no database to database direct communication
using db link or any other drivers :(

I assume you are on 32 bit.  There is free TDS which works fine.  Try
that out and if your mileage varies try use the 15 day trial with Data
Direct (works fairly well).  There is also one out my Merant (spelling
questionable) that works as well but I thought it a bit pricey.
 
I was on 64 bit and had to use a IBM driver which worked out well.

        Oracle seems to recommend (though not exclusively) the driver
from datadirect.com.
         
        Metalink Note 466228.1 has this in it:
         
        The ODBC driver

                There are several ODBC vendors for UNIX platforms. Below
is a description using the ODBC driver from Data Direct Technologies.
They also provide a 15 day trial license for Linux based platforms. More
information is available at the following URL: 
                http://www.datadirect.com

Anyone have a recommendation?  We're getting more and more SQL Server
databases and are needing to access them from our Oracle DBs on Linux
and HPUX.  My associate, who, thank God, is a SQL Server guru, has
gotten one (that our Sys Admins found) set up and working with 9i
Heterogeneous Services on an HPUX server.  It's one from EasySoft and
we're investigating the costs.  A brief scan of SourceForge didn't
reveal much that looked promising.  Did I miss one?  Any others? 

Thanks.
