That's strange, it's a different syntax from mine. My odbc.ini looks like:
[SDW-LatestQuarter]
Driver = TDS
Description = SDWA data whse, LatestQuarter database
Servername = SDW
Database = LatestQuarter
But that may depend on your version of ODBC. Check your logs or output for
syntax errors, but if you haven't seen any it's probably OK.

Looks okay.

I think this is wrong. In place of TDS, you should have the value of the
Servername field from odbc.ini. So instead of [TDS] you should have
[192.168.8.88]. For example, my freetds.conf that goes with the odbc.ini
above looks like
[SDW]
host = xx.xx.xx.xx
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0
Note that the Servername (SDW in my case) is a logical name; it doesn't have
to be the server's IP address.
Good luck,
Andrew.
