FREETDS.CONF(5)		    BSD File Formats Manual	       FREETDS.CONF(5)

NAME
     freetds.conf — configuration file for FreeTDS

SYNOPSIS
     The freetds.conf file describes Sybase and Microsoft database servers to
     the FreeTDS library.  It comprises sections headed by a servername, fol‐
     lowed by a list of connection properties denoted as name-value pairs.
     Defaults are defined via a [global] section.  This file supersedes the
     interfaces file that Sybase defines for the same purpose, although the
     latter is still supported.

DESCRIPTION
     A section begins with a servername — the name of the server — in square
     brackets. The servername is chosen at the client's descretion.  (One
     exception: with Sybase ASA the servername must match the database name to
     be used.)

     Sections contain properties, one per line, in the form

	   name = value

     where name is the connection property to be described.  Servernames and
     properties are not case sensitive.	 Values are case-preserving i.e.,
     copied literally.	Comments begin with either a semicolon (‘;’) or pound
     sign (‘#’) and continue to end of line.  Blank lines are ignored.	White‐
     space surrounding the ‘=’ is ignored.

     instance		    name of Microsoft SQL Server instance to connect
			    to (supersedes port)
			    Domain:   instance name
			    Default:  none
     port		    port number that the server is listening to
			    Domain:   any valid port

     timeout		    seconds to wait for response to a query
			    Domain:   0 to MAX_INT
			    Default:  none (wait forever)

     Do not define both port and instance.  One implies the other.

     Boolean property values may be denoted as on/off, true/false, or 1/0.

   DEBUG FLAGS
     The log's granularity can be controlled with the debug flags property.

	   Value     Meaning
	     0x02    severe error
	     0x04    error
	     0x08    warning
	     0x10    network
	     0x20    information level 1
	     0x40    information level 2
	     0x80    function trace and info
	   0x1000    show pid
	   0x2000    show time
	   0x4000    show source level info (source file and line)
	   0x8000    thread id (not implemented).

NAMES AND LOCATIONS
     The file is normally named /etc/freetds.conf or ${HOME}/.freetds.conf.
     That name can be overridden with the FREETDSCONF environment variable.

     FreeTDS will search conf files for a servername in the following order:
	   1.	a filename set programatically via dbsetifile() that is in
		.conf format
	   2.	a filename in the environment variable FREETDSCONF that is in
		.conf format
	   3.	${HOME}/.freetds.conf if extant
	   4.	@sysconfdir@/freetds.conf

     The search stops with the first file containing the servername.

     If no conf file is found, FreeTDS searches for an interfaces file in the
     following order:
	   1.	a filename set programatically via dbsetifile() that is in
		interfaces format
	   2.	${HOME}/.interfaces
	   3.	$SYBASE/interfaces (where $SYBASE is an environment variable)

     If the requested servername is not found in any configuration file, the
     fallback mechanism is:
	   1.	attempt to convert the name to an IP address with
		inet_addr(3), else
	   2.	attempt to convert the name to an IP address with gethostby‐
		name(3), else
	   3.	attempt to look up the literal name “SYBASE”

ENVIRONMENT
     FREETDSCONF    overrides name and location of the system-wide conf file
     TDSDUMP	    overrides the name and location of the FreeTDS log file
     TDSDUMPCONFIG  specifies a name and location of a file that logs the
		    search of configuration files
     TDSHOST	    overrides the host property
     TDSPORT	    overrides the port property
     TDSQUERY	    synonym for DSQUERY, the default servername
     TDSVER	    overrides the version specified in the freetds.conf

     The environment variables TDSVER, TDSDUMP, TDSPORT, TDSQUERY, and TDSHOST
     override values set by a .conf or interfaces file.

FILES
     @sysconfdir@/freetds.conf, ${HOME}/.freetds.conf
