*Q: I'm getting unicode SQL Server errors connecting to SQL Server database (e.g. Unicode data in a Unicode-only collation or ntext data cannot be sent to clients using DB-Library (such as ISQL) or ODBC version 3.7 or earlier)*
A: If you are using FreeTDS make sure you're using TDS version 8.0 in **/etc/freetds/freetds.conf** (or wherever it's installed). If on Windows, ensure you use the [SQL Server Driver for PHP](http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=ccdf728b-1ea0-48a8-a84a-5052214caad9) and **NOT** the mssql drivers provided by PHP.

*Q: Using FreeTDS I can't connect to my SQL Server database. An error in PHP says the server doesn't exist*
A: Make sure you've got an entry in **/etc/freetds/freetds.conf** (or wheverever it's installed) that points to your server. For example:
A: Make sure you've got an entry in **/etc/freetds/freetds.conf** that points to your server. For example:
[myserver]
host = myserver.mydomain.com
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0
host = myserver.mydomain.com
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0
Then you can use "myserver" (the bit in square brackets above) as the server name when connecting to the database.
Note that if you're running Macports, the file is located in **/opt/local/etc/freetds/freetds.conf**.
Alternatively, if you don't want to keep adding more entries to the freetds.conf to nominate more SQL Server locations,
you can instead use the full the host/ip and port combination, such as "myserver:1433" (1433 being the default SQL Server port.)
