Hello, I decided to embrace getting a new Rails application to see an existing MSSQL database and trying to get unixODBC, freeTDS, and ActiveRecord able to query my MSSQL database.
I'm following the procedure outlined at http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoConnectToMicrosoftSQLServerFromRailsOnLinux but my system (Ubuntu 8.10 - Intrepid Ibex, Rails 2.3, Ruby 1.8.7) isn't cooperating. I get as far as able to use 'sqsh' to test the server-side connection and able to run SQL, but 'isql' or the IRB aren't able to access my unixODBC DSN. My /etc/odbc.ini: [Server1] Driver = FreeTDS Description = SQLServer Database Trace = No Server = ip_of_server Port = 1433 Database = DB_Name My /etc/odbcinst.ini: [FreeTDS] Description = TDS driver (Sybase/MS SQL) Driver = /usr/lib/odbc/libtdsodbc.so Setup = /usr/lib/odbc/libtdsS.so CPTimeout = CPReuse = UsageCount = 2 My /usr/lib/odbc directory: total 680 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9516 2008-09-01 03:14 libesoobS.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5360 2008-09-01 03:14 libmimerS.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 67604 2008-09-01 03:14 libnn.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5336 2008-09-01 03:14 libodbcdrvcfg1S.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5328 2008-09-01 03:14 libodbcdrvcfg2S.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5388 2008-09-01 03:14 libodbcminiS.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9440 2008-09-01 03:14 libodbcmyS.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5332 2008-09-01 03:14 libodbcnnS.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5424 2008-09-01 03:14 libodbcpsqlS.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 148972 2008-09-01 03:14 libodbctxt.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5352 2008-09-01 03:14 libodbctxtS.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9720 2008-09-01 03:14 liboplodbcS.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5332 2008-09-01 03:14 liboraodbcS.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5332 2008-09-01 03:14 libsapdbS.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 341668 2008-08-01 18:28 libtdsodbc.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5320 2008-09-01 03:14 libtdsS.so Output from IRB test: irb(main):001:0> require "dbi" => true irb(main):002:0> dbh = DBI.connect('dbi:ODBC:ivyweblv', 'railsuser', 'Pa$$w0rd') DBI::DatabaseError: S1000 (0) [unixODBC][FreeTDS][SQL Server]Unable to connect to data source from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/DBD/ODBC/ODBC.rb:95:in `connect' from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/dbi/dbi.rb:584:in `connect' from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/dbi/dbi.rb:384:in `connect' from (irb):2 from :0 Output from isql test: [ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect I followed the troubleshooting section in the above RubyOnRails Wiki page, but am not able to get unixODBC to see the freeTDS driver it seems.
