Installing FreeTDS

EAServer

Installing FreeTDS

Before you begin your installation, verify that unixODBC is not already

installed on your machine. If it is, uninstall the existing version of unixODBC.

❖ Installing and configuring FreeTDS

1 Obtain FreeTDS at http://www.freetds.org, download and unzip the source

code. Sybase recommends that you use the latest version of FreeTDS,

which is fully compatible with ODBC 3.0.

2 Go to the FreeTDS source code directory; for example, /usr/tmp, and

execute:

./configure --prefix=$JAGUAR/freetds \

--with-tdsver=5.0\

--with-unixodbc=$JAGUAR/unixodbc

3 Compile the source code by executing:

make

make install

The compilation process adds the library, libtdsodbc.so into

$JAGUAR/freetds/lib. The FreeTDS installation is complete.

Configuring ODBC

This section provides additional information on configuring ODBC data

sources using the drivers installed with EAServer.

Before you begin:

1 Ensure that TDSQUERY and DSQUERY environment variables are set to

null.

2 Remove .odbc.ini file from the user home directory, if it exists. Otherwise,

this may affect the attributes defined file in

$JAGUAR/unixODBC/odbc.ini.
