This? http://www.sqsh.org/

Can you give me some context? How will this help me?

The default DB can be set in the per-user .sqshrc config file.

Here's mine:

##################################################
[konrad@kjhlt5 utl]$ cat ~/.sqshrc

\set DSQUERY='Win2k3'
\set datetime='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
\set date='%Y-%m-%d'
\set time='%H:%M:%S'
\set database='ppdf'
\set username="$TarUser"
\set password="$TarPass"
\set style='bcp'
\set bcp_rowsep=''
\set banner=0
####################################################

I set the Host, Default DB as well as the username and password
in my ~/.sqshrc file.

Sounded similar to setting a default DB in freetds.conf.

You might also see how it works in the sqsh code.

So I am testing TinyTDS with Azure and I am close. I have 0.83.dev installed
with OpenSSL and can connect with tsql.

$ tsql -S azure -U tinytds@abc -P password -D tinytdstest

But I am having an issue with figuring out a way to use a database setting. I know that
Azure does not have a notion of "USE ..." or has a way to specify a default
database with the user account, so I was let with reverse engineering how tsql
accomplishes a connection using the -D option and I am left stumped as to how I can get
TDSCONNECTION's database string in there. FYI, TinyTDS only uses sybdb.h and
sqlfront.h, so some things that tsql is doing is not a public API. Perhaps there is
something that can be done for this?

I had hoped that putting a database in my freetds.conf would help. For
instance.

[azure]
host = abc.database.windows.net
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0
database = tinytdstest

Since I assumed that this would populate the struct for me. It may just be doing that,
but because of login.c (around line 430) never has db_selected to false for high TDS
versions? Maybe this is not the right spot too since it ultimately does a "USE
" too. I guess the question is, how does tsql work and how can I help make DBLIB
work too?

Have you looked at sqsh ?
