Hello James and anyone else 

I have now installed tcsh from source. This looks very useful for later
when I get going as there is lots of code to guide how to do things.
Brilliant. So If I can get past this problem I should be up and
developing.

I can use tcsh connect to the MS SQL Server database and issue SQL
commands quite happily. I am using the supplied Northwind database.
An SQL command such as "select FirstName from Employees" returns data.

As James suggested I have tried this command (only in tcsh) and it
returns the hello message.  

raiserror( 'hello', 16,1 )


So at the moment it looks like I need to put in a callback routine to
try and catch what error/message is not being handled by the default
freetds routines in the C++ program. But if anybody has any other
suggestions meanwhile I would be grateful as I expect it is a basic
problem. While delving with gdb I could see that the message being
handled is (I think) something like "Database context changed to
Northwind". 

So to summarise. I can connect using a C program or tcsh but when I put
the almost identical code into my C++ program it fails in ct_connect
somewhere in the default message handler.

A couple of questions:

1. While trying to troubleshoot I have tried setting, for example,
TDSDUMPCONFIG=/tmp/freetds.config. But when I run no file is created. Do
I need to set anything else?

2. When compiling using g++ the compiler flags as warnings the various
freetds routines as "implicitly defined". Do the freetds .h files not
define the routines? Or am I missing something here?  



Regards.
