Support for Linux connection to SQL Server

On Windows platforms, you can directly connect to Alibaba Cloud. On Unix/Linux, how does one connect to Alibaba Cloud? Because there is no SQL Server Driver in Unix/Linux, We need to install the driver, which is the Sybase/SQL Server Driver in freetds -- Unix/Linux.

Freetds is an open-source project that helps Linux and Unix users connect ms SQL Server to Sybase. Web servers commonly used on Linux and UNIX platforms display the data of the above two databases on websites. Technically, freetds implements tabular data stream protocol. Tabular Data Stream protocol is used to transmit data between the database server and the customer server. It was designed and developed by Sybase and used first in Sybase relational database. Later, ms SQL Server also used this protocol.
