odbc/mssql with TBS

I need to query an mssql database and have been able to successfully connect with ODBC and get data back to PHP.  Now I am trying this with TBS by using the following code:

$odbc = odbc_connect ('ajera', '', '') or die('Could Not Connect to ODBC Database!');
$str_query = "select * from AxProject where prjEstimatedStartDate > '2005-01-01' order by prjID"
$TBS = new clsTinyButStrong ;
$TBS->LoadTemplate('odbc_conn.html') ;
$TBS->MergeBlock('blk1',$odbc,$str_query) ;
$TBS->Show() ;
odbc_close($odbc);

However, this yields the following error message:

TinyButStrong Error when merging block [blk1] : Data source Id 'odbc link' is unsupported because function 'tbsdb_odbc_open' is not found.

Am I going about this the wrong way to get to mssql?

ODBC is not supported in native by TBS. you need to use a database plug-in for this.
You'll found some database plug-ins at the Plug-In page.
You can also use TbsSQL which gives you more, presentation and download at the Other Tools page.

The ezSQL db plugin for TBS does support connection to mssql

I have been using ezSQL with TBS and it by far has greatly simplified TBS db connections for me.

Hope that helps,

Thank you all very much for the tips. I did find the odbc plugin on the plugin page and was able to get it to work.  I will also look at the alternatives listed here on the other tools page as well.
