Hi,


I am currently working on a database migration project from MS SQL Server to
MySQL and am using the MySQL Workbench 6.3 for it. However, I have ran across
a problem in migrating some of the data due to character encoding issues and
it has been suggested that using FreeTDS driver (instead of Microsoft's ODBC
drivers) could be of help.


Now, I have spend past couple of days reading stuff online to try and figure
out how I can set up my Windows machine with FreeTDS so that ODBC Data Source
Administrator recognizes it, which is what is being used by MySQL Workbench.
I have, however, been unable to make any progress and am pretty stuck right
now. I have downloaded windows binaries from couple of places, but honestly
don't know what to do with them. I have also tried working with CMake, but
again no luck there as I absolutely have no prior experience with it.


I will really appreciate if anyone can help me here and guide me through the
process of making this work.



Thanks,

Pratik
