no, the default is the same, just that you are using the trivial iconv
provided with FreeTDS which is not recommended.

Good, so now should work for every protocol version.

Which ones?

Which tests ?

Weird. I'm trying this query on tsql

select cast(cast(0x420435044104420420003dd84ddc20007400650073007400 as
nvarchar(200)) as sql_variant)

(which is based on your previous string) and looks the strings are
always returned correctly.
I tried from 7.0 to 7.3 without issues.

Can you post all queries you are using? Which exact sequence is not working?
Are you trying some invalid coding?
