Hi Robert,
  This is the command for freetds ./configure –with-tdsver=8.0
–with-unixODBC=/usr/local

1. I am creating the odbcinst.ini it contains the defnition of ODBC driver
2. I am creating odbc.ini this contains the MSSQL information with DSN name
3. For testing I tried isql -v <DSN name> <database_username>
<database_password>
4. In javascript I am using the DSN name to connect with the MSSQL server
