Hi All,
   I am using Javascript to connect to MS SQL server. For this I am using
FreeTDS and UnixODBC, I am facing issue with isql saying that SQL connect
error. I have tried lot of combinations, some where I  am wrong. Robert also
suggested me some things but still not able to succeed.

  So someone can assist me how to go ahead.
