sql server (alternate):

Anyone support a config where you have an unix/linux (AIX here) ODBC
client connection to SQL Server database? I am looking for a simple,
supportable configuration that does not require me to learn perl or
instal a bunch of crap gnu shareware on enterprise class machines.

There are commercial ODBC drivers available, and Microsoft provides a JDBC
driver if that's of any use to you.

You can download a high-performance AIX based ODBC Driver for SQL
Server from http://www.openlinksw.com .

The Driver is available on a free 30 day evaluation basis.
