*Yes it is our case.
We write SQLConnector for FreePascal, which should be able connect to 
both Microsoft and Sybase servers
(with MS db-lob semantics)
What we need is posibility setup tds version without need of TDSVER or 
freetds.conf

So with dbsetversion() I can not set "tds version", like I can with 
dbsetlversion()
