Regarding connection probably there is a configuration problem.
Regarding result problems the key is probably update. Either ODBC (the
standard) and unixODBC had problems with 64-bit (and well.. even
FreeTDS but with a 0.82 you shouldn't have any problems).

Assure you are using 0.82 and not the previous version.

Mm.... or server with instance or port, not both. Here you are not
using freetds.conf (ODBC-only). I would add a TDS_Version entry.

of course !

/usr/lib/libtdsodbc.so.0 is our driver file.

Not used by isql but by tsql
