The documentation for FreeTDS claims that TDS ver 7.0 is for
MS SQL.  Isn't this correct ? Here is the exact quote:

"Experimental support for TDS 7.0 (the version used by MS SQL Server
7.0) is
now included. It works for me but beyond that I can't promise much.
That said,
TDS 7.0 support can be configured by using the --with-tdsver=7.0 when
running
configure."

I believe this is because MS SQL 6.5 and below are just a rip off of
Sybase and therefore
use the TDS 4.2 where   MS SQL Server 7.0 and above use some different
version of TDS

?????

Thanks,

Devin.
