See: HowtoConnectToMicrosoftSQLServerFromRailsOnLinux
I have gotten SQL Server working with Rails on Linux using FreeTDS with unixODBC and the DBD::odbc driver. There are minimal changes required to the ActiveRecord sqlserver adapter. I plan to get them cleaned up and posted back to the Rails developers in the next week or two.

I am very interested as well. If there is any way I can help, let me know. It is something I need for a large project, so I can do whatever it will take to help expedite this. joenoon at gmail dot com
As promised, the DBD::odbc patch has been submitted to Trac. It’s at http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/1519 for the impatient.
