Hi all,

 

We are using freetds to connect to a MSQL database from a RedHat 8
machine.

We have also installed unixODBC with thread safetiness.

 

If we create several processes (through isql or tsql): freetds behaves
correctly.

 

However when using an external application that uses threads (either the
DataManager of unixODBC or Zope through egenix mxODBCZopeDA ), the
driver crashes and leads to a crash of the external application as well.

 

Could you please provide me information regarding :

 

-          To what extend is freetds thread safe ? What are the
requirements (particular c compiler? MS SQL version ? other libraries
dependencies ?)

-          How can we test thread safety of free tds? do you have a unit
test for this ?

-          How can we get more information of what's going on when the
driver crashes (trace, debugging possible ?)

 

Thanks for your input, we are really clueless here,

 

-- Jean
