The way I read the comment from freetds http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/freetds/2008q2/023126.html connection string: cnxn = pyodbc.connect("SERVER=xxx;UID=xxx;PWD=xxx;DRIVER={TDS};TDS_Version=7.0") Connecting this way does not read the freetds.conf, it goes directly to the driver. > > I'm talking about the [global] setting, which is the default used unless > overridden in a different [dataserver] config. > I have changed it in the global settings and it made no difference. It was only when I emailed them I have found out that the way we connect is not using freetds.conf.

I don't see an easy option to change it.
