I work at a large site that has a default freetds configuration 
file setup as part of standard perl setup.   The problem is, the 
central/default config file sets the 'text size' option, but some 
types of servers don't like the "set text size" command caused by 
that command (causes failed logins).

How can I unset the 'text size' option so that freetds doesn't 
send the "set text size" command to the server?

I've tried the setting the FREETDSCONF env variable and/or using a 
.freetds.conf file in my home directory.   But even if I set the 
'text size' option to an empty string or a null in the my 
freetds.conf file, the 'text size' option from the central/default 
conf file gets processed next and takes effect.

Thanks
