Here's the basic idea.  I found MS ODBC reference 
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/odbc/htm/odbcodbc_api_reference.asp> 
a great resource.

#include "sqlext.h"
#define MAX_OUT_CONNECTION_STRING_LEN 1024

SQLHDBC connection;
unsigned char outConnectionString[MAX_OUT_CONNECTION_STRING_LEN];
SQLSMALLINT len;
SQLHSTMT    cmd;
SQLRETURN   ret;
SQLHENV context;

ret = SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_ENV, SQL_NULL_HANDLE, &context);
// check ret value;

ret = SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_DBC, context, &connection);
// check ret value;

ret = SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, connection, &cmd);
// check ret value;

ret = SQLDriverConnect(connection, NULL, (SQLCHAR *) 
"DRIVER=FreeTDS;SERVER=[your server name];UID=[your user ID];PWD=[your 
password];APP=[your application];WSID=[your hostname];Port=[server 
port];TDS_Version=[the TDS version the server uses]", SQL_NTS, 
outConnectionString, MAX_OUT_CONNECTION_STRING_LEN, &len, 
SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);
// check ret value;

ret = SQLExecDirect( cmd, (unsigned char *)"[your sql statement]", 
SQL_NTS );
// check ret value;

/* Bind the columns */
ret = SQLBindCol( cmd, [column number], [column data type], [buffer], 
[max length], [address of indicator] );
// check ret value;
    .
    .
    .

while(( ret = SQLFetch( cmd )) != SQL_NO_DATA )
 {
    printf( "%s", buffer );
 }

ret = SQLDisconnect( connection );
// check ret value;

ret = SQLFreeHandle( SQL_HANDLE_DBC, connection );
// check ret value;

ret = SQLFreeHandle( SQL_HANDLE_ENV, context );
// check ret value;
