The freetds that you need is freetds-0.82RC2.tar.bz2. Upto three weeks ago,
freetds had abig bug that made Asterisk crash when more than a few
connections were open to the database. It all depends of your application,
maybe you don't need this. In any case, I had to hire Frediano Ziglio, one
the freetds developers, and he repreoduced the issue in my machine, found
the bug and fixed it. I paid a lot Euros for his work. But the only other
option was to keep shelling license money to Easysoft for their ODBC driver
(I already own a license), but they became greedy lately, so in a
virtulized environment like mine they want money per virtual copy, which of
course is absurd because you are just dividing the same power among several
copies, so I was forced to go back to freetds. In my opinion, freetds now
works at the same level as the Easysoft driver, which is $1500 per machine,
virtual or not. So the world should payme back the money I invested to fix
this, a big bug that had gone undetected for years.
