Stated, yes, clearly, no.

I worked on that part of the UG, now posted as
http://www.freetds.org/userguide/x1848.htm#AEN1914. It took me some time
to understand it, never having really tried before.

The last column in the table is "In odbc.ini". "Yes" means the attribute
appears in odbc.ini; "No" means it's specified as part of the connect
string. I think it would be clearer if the heading were "used in" and the
values were "odbc.ini" and/or "connection string". But maybe the whole
thing needs reworking.
