"Use DSN. FreeTDS will search odbc.ini for entry. It lets you specify a
connection like SQLConnect, but using SSQLDriverConnect. Do not use
Servername and DSN together. Can be specified only in a connection string,
not in odbc.ini."

I'm updating the ODBC documentation, and I have a question about the
above:  What does it mean?  

        "Use DSN. FreeTDS will search odbc.ini for entry." ??

I think it means: if you specify a Data Source Name in your connection
string, the FreeTDS ODBC driver will look in odbc.ini to figure out the
servername.  I don't understand SQLConnect and SSQLDriverConnect, or why
Servername conflicts with DSN.  

Could someone offer clearer text?
