My method dictates this. Freetds is the one coming with debian: 0.82. Here is my testing environment: ------------------------------------------- # MSSQL 2005 #IP=192.168.200.102 #PORT=1433 # MSSQL 2008 IP=192.168.200.100 PORT=1036 export DBICTEST_MSSQL_ODBC_DSN="dbi:ODBC:server=$IP;port=$PORT;database=dbic_test;driver=FreeTDS;tds_version=8.0" export DBICTEST_MSSQL_ODBC_USER=dbic_test export DBICTEST_MSSQL_ODBC_PASS=123 export DBICTEST_MSSQL_DSN="dbi:Sybase:server=$IP;port=$PORT;database=dbic_test" export DBICTEST_MSSQL_USER=dbic_test export DBICTEST_MSSQL_PASS=123 ------------------------------------------- Simply swapping the ip/port info switches me between 2005 and 2008. Both DSNs work on 2005. Only the ODBC functions on 2008, the Sybase one hangs until a timeout. Also testers who bit the bullet and compiled Sybase 1.09 have no problems connecting to 2008. You should be able to replicate this trivially by installing MSSQL 2008 express edition. If this is not possible I can arrange for a temporary test database for you.
