Not really. It works just like ODBC on windoze.

Since I just got this set up for myself...

odbc.ini:

[ODBC Data Sources]
TEST = Microsoft SQL Server 2000

[TEST]
Driver          = /usr/lib/libtdsodbc.so
Description     = TEST Data
Trace           = No
Server          = 192.168.100.250
Database        = TEST
;Port            = 4444
TDS_Version     = 8.0

----------------

/etc/freetds.conf

[SERVER]
        host = 192.168.100.250 # server.test.local
        port = 1433
        tds version = 8.0

-----------------

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
#
use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:TEST", 'DOMAIN\user', 'domainpwd',
{PrintError => 1, RaiseError => 1, LongTruncOk=>1});

die "Unable for connect to server $DBI::errstr"
    unless $dbh;

. . .

Right. HTH.
