Hello All,
I'm trying to get FreeTDS working against an MS SQL 2005 (v.9.00.4035.00,
Enterprise Edition, SP3).
I've compiled freetds in the following way:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freetds
make
make install
My '/usr/local/freetds/etc/freetds.conf' includes the following entry
# A typical Microsoft server
[Reporting]
host = 1.2.3.4
port = 1433
tds version = 7.0
I use the tsql command as follows:
tsql -S Reporting -U "domain\username"
I use the domain because the database requires "windows authentication". It
seems like it is about to connect. I get prompted for a password, and then
I get the counter seconds climbing (0,1,2,3...)
Eventually it does and throws this error:
Msg 20012, Level 2, State -1, Server OpenClient, Line -1
Server name not found in configuration files.
188Msg 20009, Level 9, State -1, Server OpenClient, Line -1
Unable to connect: Adaptive Server is unavailable or does not exist
There was a problem connecting to the server
After several attempts I figured that there just must be something
incompatible with freetds and this particular server. But then I went and
tried to connect to the database with my linux-based database query program
(RazorSQL), and it connects just fine with JDBC:JTDS.
So what am I doing wrong with FreeTDS?
Thanks in advance.
Bobby
