DB: Sybase ASA 10 (Adaptive Server Anywhere) on Windows 7 
Client: Debian Wheezy, freetds, php (odbc_connect() ) 
ODBC:   unixodbc 

I can connect to the database by using unixodbc / freetds driver as long it is running. (started by a ERP windows client app) I get all data I need with php - everything is working fine. 

Unfortunately I can not connect to the database when it was stopped by the client app. (on close of the app) 

The Sybase personal server (EngineName) is still running and is waiting to receive DatabaseName and DatabaseFilePath to start the DB again. 
- Sybase ASA is configured for AUTOSTART. 
- Firewall does not block 
- Tests with a windows machine, ODBC and Sybase driver work - its possible to start the DB by using the ODBC only 

I figured out that I need to submit following parameter (which are available in Windows ODBC confiuration) when connecting: 
EngineName=MyPersonalDBServer     --> Name of the personal server (Sybase calls it personal) 
DatabaseName=MyDatabase                --> Name of the database to start 
DatabaseFile=D:\mydatabasefile.db    --> Windows Path where database file is located on the hosting machine 

Unfortunately I can not find a solution to do this by unixodb / freetds. I tried to add above parameter to odbc.ini but freetds.log shows that it does not know / use these parameter 

   
odbc.ini 
---------------- 

[mydatabase] 
Description    = FreeTDS Driver 
Driver        = FreeTDS 
Servername    = mydatabase 
UID        = user 
PWD        = password 
Port        = 2638 


freetds.config 
---------------- 
[mydatabase] 
    host = svrname 
    port = 2638 
    tds version = 5.0 
    ASA database = mydatabase 
    connect timeout = 10 

--->    I would like to add somehow 
;EngineName=MyPersonalDBServer 
;DatabaseFile=D:\mydatabase.db 

Do you have any idea / suggestion? 

Thanks for having a look into.
