Sebastian,

More info on TDS protocols are here:

http://www.freetds.org/userguide/choosingtdsprotocol.htm

Microsoft servers are backwards compatible with previous TDS versions 
but you should generally use the latest TDS version supported by the 
server in order to get support for that server's capabilities 
(varchar(max), date, time, etc.).
