Hi i am still getting some other error, please check at end of the code its not able to find the servername but i have specified it clearly in my odbc.ini file according to the instructions


My odbcinst.ini file

[FreeTDS] Description = TDS driver (Sysbase/MS SQL) Driver = /usr/local/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so Setup = /usr/local/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so UsageCount = 1

My odbc.ini file

[SERVER] Driver = FreeTDS Description = ODBC connection via FreeTDS ServerName = SERVER

My freetds.conf file

# A typical Microsoft server [SERVER] host = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port = 1433 tds version = 7.2
