Re: compiling snort with --mssql option

> From my experience, no.  I was told to use the ODBC option instead if 
compliling on any form of UNIX as there's no library available for MS SQL 
in UNIX.  If you do use ODBC, you then need the ODBC-to-ODBC bridge 
software that adds another layer of complexity and dependency.  I just 
spent the last month trying different databases only to come to the 
conclusion that the best solution for integrating UNIX and Windows sensors 
with a Windows-based server is MySQL as it's the only universal db with 
good documentation and support in the Snort community.
