Read from the server failed when trying to connect to sql-azure from tsql

Question

I\'m trying to connect to SQL-Azure from Ubuntu 12.04.

I\'ve compiled freeTds-0.91 with openssl and libiconf

tsql -H XXXXXXXX.database.windows.net -U         


        

Answer 1

Do with TDS 8.0 version worked for me.

Just put in /etc/freetds/freetds.conf to stay permanent

Answer 2

in freetds.conf

[servername] 
host = ipAddress
port = 1433
tds version = 8.0

for checking freetds connection
===============================

$tsql -S servername -U username 
password

Answer 3

The error is caused by the use of the wrong version of TDS.

To resolve just specify the TDS version before the tsql command:

TDSVER=8.0 tsql -H XXXXXXXX.database.windows.net -U Username -D DatabaseName -p 1433 -P Password

Answer 4

Is your IP address whitelisted by the database server? If not, you won't be able to connect.
