How to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server from Linux shell?

ubuntu_ulysses

I have the following problem: I am working on an Ubuntu Linux server (I have access only to the shell, no desktop environment) and I have to interact with a Microsoft SQL server to create some tables on a database. So what I need is a command line client that, from the shell, allow me to connect to this MS SQL Server DB and interact with it. What can I use?
