Hi,
  some considerations:
- TDS_Version 9.0 was never implemented, see
http://www.freetds.org/userguide/choosingtdsprotocol.htm;
- the "Data source name not found and no default driver specified" in
this case means that the driver ("FreeTDS") is not installed
correctly. It could mean that you install the wrong bit version or
that you don't install it correctly. Where did you download/how do you
compile and install? Does it happen also with "SQL Server" driver?
- the "\n" before "Database" is an error, there should be no such
character before "Database" option;
- the "first argument is not an open RODBC channel" just indicate that
connection before failed;
- there are some not implemented option in the connection string, see
http://www.freetds.org/userguide/odbcconnattr.htm.
