thanks freedy and cedric for your quick response. Although that works, I'm in a difficult situation where I need it to work as before. I won't go into all the details but I have an existing app that not only uses freetds as its intended but also parses it and uses it within an application. I can't alter the app and need the functionality we have been using up to now. Do you know if the problem I have is a bug or a feature? -----Original Message----- From: Frediano Ziglio <[email protected]> Subj: Re: [freetds] Ms sql backslash in named instance 2005 Date: Fri 23 Oct 2009 18:08 Size: 799 bytes To: FreeTDS Development Group <[email protected]> Il giorno ven, 23/10/2009 alle 17.46 +0100, [email protected] ha scritto: > Hi, > using freetds version 0.82 on solaris 10. tsql fails to connect to sql server named instances as they contain backslashes.
