To determine if the FreeTDS ODBC driver is able to process your query
results, I recommend testing it with bsqlodbc.  If that works, you can
have some confidence that the driver works as expected.  That is, as
the authors intended.  

To get better information in situ, TDSDUMP is your friend.

I assume you've read the UG on the question.  Make sure TDSDUMP is set
before you start the process that uses ODBC.  FreeTDS will honor
TDSDUMP, definitely.  

HTH.
