Sorry about that.
Let's concentrate on the freeTDS ODBC connection right now.

Yes, there was. Sorry about that.

Now when I tried to connect with ODBC driver I see following in the sql.log:

[code]
[ODBC][30927][1530736662.061920][/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/unixODBC-2.3.2-r1/work/unixODBC-2.3.2/DriverManager/SQLConnect.c][3727]
        Entry:
            Connection = 0x23d8050
            Server Name = [Sybase_16_freeTDS][length = 17 (SQL_NTS)]
            User Name = [sa][length = 2 (SQL_NTS)]
            Authentication = [******][length = 6 (SQL_NTS)]
        UNICODE Using encoding ASCII 'UTF8' and UNICODE 'UTF16LE'

        DIAG [01000] [FreeTDS][SQL Server]Adaptive Server connection failed

        DIAG [S1000] [FreeTDS][SQL Server]Unable to connect to data source

[/code]

This is with the:

In the odbcinst.ini:
[code]
[Sybase_freeTDS]
Description=Sybase FreeTDS Driver
Driver=/usr/lib64/libtdsodbc.so
TDS_Version = 5
UsageCount=3
[/code]

In the odbc.ini:
[code]
[Sybase_16_freeTDS]
Description=Sybase 16 freeTDS ODBC driver
Driver=Sybase_freeTDS
Port=5000
Server=IGORREINCLOUD
UserID=sa
Password=wasqra
Database=draft
Option=3
[/code]

Anything wrong here with my setup?

Thank you.

Should this option be in odbc.ini rather than in odbcinst.ini?

Yes, I did.
But with the native driver while I did connect the simple query segfaulted on my
database (draft). The crash happened somewhere inside the Sybase driver.
I did created the thread on the sap community forum website and hopefully
someone will look into that.
But I was hoping that making freeTDS driver working will help me to at least
continue to do my development.

Thank you.
