Re: unixODBC connection not working while tsql does

Thanks James for the suggestion to download the newest version of osql,
but I read another post and here is what I did:  I un-installed unixODBC
and re-installed it, then re-installed freeTDS.  After I did that osql
still did not log in, but isql did log in.  With that working, I went to
R-RODBC (my final goal) and it seems to work.  So I am done playing
around with it.  I don't know why osql still does not work.  I have
always used Windows and I am trying to start using Linux.  I have made
decent progress and I would love to like Linux, but Linux takes up a
large amount of times sometimes just to get very easy stuff working.

I think my problem was that osql doesn't know where my .ini files are
located.  According to most threads they should be in /usr/local/freetds
and /usr/local/odbc, but mine in are /etc/.  My install is different
somehow and I don't know why.  I even used the
--prefix=/usr/local/freetds option in the ./configure step.  Linux is
not for those who want it easy.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Roger

Roger, could you please let us know the results of your tests with the
above osql version? I'm pretty much in the same situation (altough my
error message is not the same)...

Thanks,
F.
