Hi,
I am trying to generate a TDSDUMP log, but it never produces a file for
me.  I followed these instructions:

TDSDUMP
Log files can be turned on using the TDSDUMP environment variable. For
instance, setting the location of a dumpfile 

$ export TDSDUMP=/tmp/freetds.log Will generate a log file named
freetds.log in the /tmp directory.

I also tried some settings in freetds.conf to get a log file....but
still no log file:

[jjptrng]
        host = xx.xx.x.xx   <---didn't want to post our ip....:)
        port = 1433
        tds version = 8.0
        client charset = UTF-8
        dump file = /opt/oracle/odbc/etc/freetds.log
        debug level = 10
        dump file append = yes


Any ideas?
Laurie

Can you do:

        select cast(<colname> as binary) 
        from JHK_PS_SNOTE AT JJPTRNG.AM
        where <key> = 'FTR1'
        -- or whatever produces one row

on SQL Server and on Oracle, so we can compare the difference?  Also, a
TDSDUMP log of the insert flowing to SQL Server will be illuminating.  

I think you may be completely stuck. If 

1.  your gateway depends on compatible SQL implementations, and 
2.  Microsoft requires the 'N' prefix, and 
3.  Oracle prohibits it, then 

it's hard to see what anyone can do.
