Is freetds version 1.1.4 compatible with Microsoft SQL Server 2017?

Question

We are planning to use freetds 1.1.4 in our organisation to connect to SQL Server 2017 using Perl and C++.

We saw a compatiblity chart but it doesn't have any info for SQL Server 2017. Could you please let us know whether we can use 1.1.4 for Microsoft SQL Server 2017. Please do reply

Answer 1

It does work, and apologies that the documentation is out of date. Microsoft is very good about maintaining backwards compatibility. I would recommend using TDS Version 7.4, if possible:
