I know that Azure does not have a notion of "USE ..." or has a way to specify a default database with the user account, so I was let with reverse engineering how tsql accomplishes a connection using the -D option and I am left stumped as to how I can get TDSCONNECTION's database string in there. FYI, TinyTDS only uses sybdb.h and sqlfront.h, so some things that tsql is doing is not a public API. Perhaps there is something that can be done for this?

Maybe this is not the right spot too since it ultimately does a "USE " too. I guess the question is, how does tsql work and how can I help make DBLIB work too?
