oh, I had seen that list but did not realize that it is an exhaustive
list. But then what about TRACE? Could that be the reason why I am not
getting a trace file enev when I use TRACE and TRACEFILE? Is tracing
_not_ supported by freeTDS at all or it has to in hte odbcinst.ini
file rather than the odbc.ini file?
