The freetds JDBC driver is not built on top of ODBC, as is the case with
some drivers.  This is a native driver.  If you want the automatic
mapping of single DSNs to a sets of connection parameters, then you'll
need to build it into your application.  You could use an INI file or
(more appropriate for a Java app) a properties file.  Or hard-wire the
names into the application itself if this is a quick-and-dirty tool.
