Hi, guys

I have made freetds (v0.91) work on my HPUX 11.23 server.

$ isql -v MSSQLSERVER username password
Connected!
Sql-statement
Help [tablename]
Quit

SQL>

Since we will access MSSQL server through application, there is a request that whether I can put the username and password into odbc.ini instead of part of 'isql' command line.
I appended "username=xxx" and "password=xxx" in the odbc.ini.

$ isql -v MSSQLSERVER
[S1000][unixODBC][FreeTDS][SQL Server]Unable to connect to data source
[01000][unixODBC][FreeTDS][SQL Server]Adaptive Server connection failed.
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
$

I have tried to use "user", "uid" and "userid" instead of "username" in the odbc.ini but no luck. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Thanks.
