The default DB can be set in the per-user .sqshrc config file.

Here's mine:

##################################################
[konrad@kjhlt5 utl]$ cat ~/.sqshrc

\set DSQUERY='Win2k3'
\set datetime='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
\set date='%Y-%m-%d'
\set time='%H:%M:%S'
\set database='ppdf'
\set username="$TarUser"
\set password="$TarPass"
\set style='bcp'
\set bcp_rowsep=''
\set banner=0
####################################################

I set the Host, Default DB as well as the username and password
in my ~/.sqshrc file.

Sounded similar to setting a default DB in freetds.conf.

You might also see how it works in the sqsh code.

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?
