<i>Note:</i> we often see people post what are really FreeTDS questions in a variety of forums such as the PHP list, LUG lists, and Usenet groups. Many times these queries go unanswered because no one in those forums knows FreeTDS. Your best bet for getting answers will generally be the FreeTDS mailing list. (If this seems obvious, you'd be surprised.)
