I installed FreeTDS in CentOS 6 and I can connect from php to remote MS SQL server. However I cannot set up odbc connection so that it shows in list of ODBC connections in OpenOffice apps.

If my server is called [10.0.0.11\myinstance] in freetds.conf what should I put in odbcinst.ini, and what in odbc.ini in order to be able to see this connection availabe for use in OpenOffice Base and Calc?

  1. In odbcinst.ini add

    [FREETDS]
Description     = v0.91 with protocol v7.2
Driver          = /usr/lib/libtdsodbc.so

  2. In ~/.odbc.ini add:

    [MSSQLTestServer]
Driver  = FreeTDS
Description     = MSSQL DB
Trace   = No
Server      = 10.0.0.11\myinstance
Database        = MyDataBaseName

Now I have MSSQLTestServer listed as an available source and can use it in OO.
