Hi *,
I checked this again and for me it PARTIALY works!
If I use *dbsetlversion*(login, DBVERSION_71 or DBVERSION_70) and I have 
no freetds.conf (TDS) nor TDSVER set, then
TDS protocol version is set correctly (looking at return value of 
*dbtds* or in freetds log file)
But when I use *dbsetlversion*(login, DBVERSION_72) then in freetds log 
file appears "TDS version downgraded to 7.1!"
(IMO it happens because of this code in login.c:
   /* disable tds9 if iconv wanted, currently not supported */
   if (IS_TDS72_PLUS(connection) && tds->use_iconv) {
       connection->tds_version = 0x701;
       tdserror(tds->tds_ctx, tds, TDSEVERDOWN, 0);
   }
)
But it happens always also when I compile without iconv support!

So it seems to me, that error is related to protocol version 7.2 and it 
does not matter if it is set using dbsetlversion or TDSVER or freetds.conf.

-Laco.
P.S. it is true, that *dbsetversion* does not accept DBVERSION_72:
so it can be added:
   case DBVERSION_70:
-   case DBVERSION_80:
+  case DBVERSION_71:
+  case DBVERSION_72:
       g_dblib_version = version;
...
(but it seems, that g_dblib_version is not used)
