tds version ignored

[leonardorame]

Hi, I'm using FreeTDS 1.4.2 on FreeBSD 13.2

My /usr/local/etc/freetds/freetds.conf file is this:

[global]
        # TDS protocol version
        tds version = 7.0
        port = 1433
        client charset = UTF-8
        dump file = /tmp/freetds.log

[testdb]
host = 192.168.0.12
port = 1433
tds version = 7.0

When I use tsql it connects to testdb without issues. Now, if I try to connect using my own program (written in FreePascal), the log file /tmp/freetds.log reports that it is Connecting with protocol version 7.3, ignoring the tds version config.

If I set TDSVER=7.0 environment variable before running my program it connects ok.

The question is, why the config param tds version is ignored?, host and port are read perfectly.

Fixed by building with GnuTLS instead of OpenSSL.

That's pretty weird... it should take the version configured. Did you try to use TDSDUMPCONFIG option (https://www.freetds.org/userguide/logging.html) ? Just to confirm that the right file was used.
