I guess, based on the lack of responses, that there's no such thing.

For a one-off job, I'd try to call tsql as a sub-process and parse
its output; for a more robust and durable solution, a binary interface
to the FreeTDS libraries might be the right thing to do.

(Alas, I have no MS SQL database I could play around with... without
getting fired, that is :-)
