Hello,

 

We're running Freetds 1.00.15 on a CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 and
connecting to MS-SQL 2014 

 

We're trying to obtain the date in the following format "2016-11-02 13 :28
:32.0000000 +02:00". For this we've configured the date format parameter in
the locales.conf file to %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%z %Z

Depending on which tdsver we configure, even the output of "%Y-%m-%d
%H:%M:%S.%z %Z" is different:

-          With TDSVER 7.1 or 7.2 we obtain a date formatted like
"2016-11-02 13:28:32.0000000 +00:00". Exactly what we want.

-          With TDSVER 7.3  or 7.4 we obtain a date formatted like
"2016-11-02 13:28:32.0000000 CET. This breaks our PHP API but it respects
the strftime description of %Z. I'm unable to find how to obtain the time
zone in "+00:00" format.

 

Is there a solution to work with the latest version of Freetds and still get
the timezone is the wished format or are we doomed (:)) to stick to version
7.2?

 

Thank you for any feedback/advice.

 

Regards,
