Hello ALL!

I could not connect to mssql DB by erlang odbc module in Gentoo Linux.
After odbc:connect(...) I have got Error Report with Timeout Reason.

The Steps that I've taken.
-Merged unixODBC Driver Manager  v2.2.12
-Merged the freetds ODBC driver with odbc and mssql USE flags. v0.64
-Merged erlang with hipo,java,kpoll,odbc,smp,ssl and tk USE flags v11.2.5
-Configured odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini  files.

odbc.ini 

[ODBC Data Sources]

MyDatabase = FREETDS SQLServer driver
MYSQLPL = My SQL


[MyDatabase]
Driver        = /usr/lib/libtdsodbc.so
Description    = SQL Server
Server        = ServerName\SQLEXPRESS
Port        = 1433
Language    =
Database    = PresenceLog
QuotedId    = No
AnsiNPW        = No


odbcins.ini

[ODBC Drivers]

FreeTDS = installed


[FreeTDS]
Description         = FreeTDS ODBC Driver
Driver                 = /usr/lib/libtdsodbc.so
Threading           = 0
FileUsage            = 1
DontDLClose     = 1
UsageCount        = 1



Tested the connectivity to MSSQL database using  "isql". Everything works.

Seted the enviroments ODBCINI and ODBCSYSINI
$ export ODBCINI=/etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini
$ export ODBCSYSINI=/etc/unixODBC/

Try out sample.

 erl
         > application:start(odbc).
         > {ok, Ref} = odbc:connect("DSN=MyDatabase;UID=user;PWD=pwd", []).

 Get as output:

I tried the DSN again via two little c program.

DSN LIST:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <sql.h>
#include <sqlext.h>

main() {
  SQLHENV env;
  char dsn[256];
  char desc[256];
  SQLSMALLINT dsn_ret;
  SQLSMALLINT desc_ret;
  SQLUSMALLINT direction;
  SQLRETURN ret;

  SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_ENV, SQL_NULL_HANDLE, &env);
  SQLSetEnvAttr(env, SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION, (void *) SQL_OV_ODBC3, 0);

  direction = SQL_FETCH_FIRST;
  while(SQL_SUCCEEDED(ret = SQLDataSources(env, direction,
                       dsn, sizeof(dsn), &dsn_ret,
                       desc, sizeof(desc), &desc_ret))) {
    direction = SQL_FETCH_NEXT;
    printf("%s - %s\n", dsn, desc);
    if (ret == SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO) printf("\tdata truncation\n");
  }
}

It founds both of my DSNs.

Connection TEST by *Edmund Dengler*

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sql.h>
#include <sqlext.h>
#include <pthread.h>

#define MAX_CONN_STR_OUT 1024
#define TIME_OUT 10

int main() {
  unsigned char *connStrIn = "DSN=MyDatabase;UID=user;PWD=pwd";
  SQLCHAR connStrOut[MAX_CONN_STR_OUT];
  SQLRETURN stringlength2ptr, result;
  SQLSMALLINT connlen;

  SQLHENV env;
  SQLHDBC connect;

  SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_ENV, SQL_NULL_HANDLE, &env);
  SQLSetEnvAttr(env, SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION, (SQLPOINTER)SQL_OV_ODBC3, 0);

  SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_DBC, env, &connect);
  SQLSetConnectAttr(connect, SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT, 
(SQLPOINTER)TIME_OUT, 0);
  SQLSetConnectAttr(connect, SQL_ATTR_AUTOCOMMIT, 
(SQLPOINTER)SQL_AUTOCOMMIT_ON, 0);
  SQLSetConnectAttr(connect, SQL_ATTR_TRACE, 
(SQLPOINTER)SQL_OPT_TRACE_OFF, 0);

  connlen = (SQLSMALLINT)strlen((const char*)connStrIn);

  printf("Connecting\n");
  result = SQLDriverConnect(connect, NULL,
                            (SQLCHAR *)connStrIn,
                            connlen,
                            connStrOut, (SQLSMALLINT)MAX_CONN_STR_OUT,
                            &stringlength2ptr, SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT);
  printf("Done (%d)\n", result);
}

The result was SQL_SUCCESS


If anybody has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated!
