Hi,


I am currently working on a database migration project from MS SQL Server to 
MySQL and am using the MySQL Workbench 6.3 for it. However, I have ran across 
a problem in migrating some of the data due to character encoding issues and 
it has been suggested that using FreeTDS driver (instead of Microsoft's ODBC 
drivers) could be of help.


Now, I have spend past couple of days reading stuff online to try and figure 
out how I can set up my Windows machine with FreeTDS so that ODBC Data Source 
Administrator recognizes it, which is what is being used by MySQL Workbench. 
I have, however, been unable to make any progress and am pretty stuck right 
now. I have downloaded windows binaries from couple of places, but honestly 
don't know what to do with them. I have also tried working with CMake, but 
again no luck there as I absolutely have no prior experience with it.


I will really appreciate if anyone can help me here and guide me through the 
process of making this work.



Thanks,

Pratik
