I only put 9.0 on the table because it was mentioned in the original page you wrote. It was the first time I'd heard of a 9.0 protocol. I'm ok removing it from the table.

For the history, I wasn't really sure on exactly what happened. :)

I've updated the Dropbox doc and gist to address your concerns. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Don't you think 9.0 on the table is too misleading?

The story about the version was a bit more complicated. For 7.0 was
exactly the product version (MSSQL 7 is product 7.0 with protocol
7.0). For MSSQL 2000 (product 8.0) there were some documentation
(probably MSDN) that also refer to a 8.0 protocol version. Could be a
misunderstanding, a typo or the author didn't know much about but it
did not came directly from us, or at least was confirmed in a semi
official way. Years after when they released the specifications we saw
7.1 and so on.

Hi Randy,
just updated website user guide with latest rc. Could you see the
page (http://www.freetds.org/userguide/choosingtdsprotocol.htm) and
edit in some way. If you are not a sgml guru just same the page and
edit, I'll look at changes.

Ok. I still think it would be better to list the older versions in the
table and just note that they are aliases. I think it will be more
visible
and intuative that way.

Are there two versions of the user guide on the site?

http://www.freetds.org/choosingtdsprotocol.htm (has updated info about
obsolete versions)
http://www.freetds.org/userguide/choosingtdsprotocol.htm (not the same
info)

First page was a preview of a change for next rc. Now is a 404 :)
