Rails & unixODBC

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

        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.

Thanks in advance,
Andy Pflueger

Re: Rails & unixODBC

I am able connect to SQL Server from OSX, Archlinux. I use this adapter:

http://github.com/rails-sqlserver/2000-2005-adapter/tree/master

I also recommend compiling FreeTDS manually as most of the ones provided 
by Linux distros are out of date. Doing so would install to 
/usr/local/lib

~/.freetds.conf
  [global]
    tds version = 8.0

~/.odbc.ini

  [dev]
  Driver=FreeTDS
  Description=Dev Database
  Trace=no
  Server=10.0.12.141
  Database=devmario

~/.odbcinst.ini

  [FreeTDS]
    Description = FreeTDS
    Driver=/usr/local/lib/libtdsodbc.so

$RAILS_ROOT/config/database.yml

  development:
    adapter: sqlserver
    mode: odbc
    username: mgutz
    password: ''*******''
    dsn: dev

Re: Rails & unixODBC

Thanks for the response. I took your advice and installed EasySoft,
but even its giving me the [ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect response
when I attempt to connect to the DSN setup during EasySoft ODBC
installation. This could be that fact I already had an installation of
freeTDS installed and EasySoft ODBC found and used it. Perhaps I''ll
take Mario''s suggestion and compile freeTDS from source and test
EasySoft or unixODBC again.

Thanks,
Andy
