FreeTDS Version

freetds v1.1.24

Description

So I was trying to debug a particular issue, and for that I wanted to reduce the noise in freetds.log, and it didn't seem like my changes were picked up.

setting debug flags = 0x80 in /usr/local/etc/freetds.conf doesn't do anything, same with dump file

After some digging I found that TinyTDS simpley ignores freetds.conf, and changing anything there has no effect.

My question then becomes: how do I configure log level for freetds when I'm using tinytds?
