Cannot connect to Azure using tiny_tds

[taniasupagirl]

Hi,

I can not get tiny_tds to connect to Azure. 2 of us have been working for hours to try and resolve this without any luck. I machine is Mac, 1 is Linux.

I am testing the connection via irb.

I have the following installed gems:
activerecord-sqlserver-adapter (3.2.8)
tiny_tds (0.5.1)

I have freetds 0.91 installed.

Here is my connection string to azure: client=TinyTds::Client.new(:username =>'user@server.database.windows.net', :password => 'pass', :host => 'server.database.windows.net', :port => 1433, :database => 'blah', :azure=>true)
SystemStackError: stack level too deep
from /Users/taniavanwykdevries/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb/workspace.rb:80

If I remove the user@server.database.windows.net and only use 'user' then I get the following error.

client=TinyTds::Client.new(:username =>'user', :password => 'pass', :host => 'server.database.windows.net', :port => 1433, :database => 'db', :azure=>true)
TinyTds::Error: Server name cannot be determined. It must appear as the first segment of the server's dns name (servername.database.windows.net). Some libraries do not send the server name, in which case the server name must be included as part of the user name (username@servername). In addition, if both formats are used, the server names must match.

Please answer all these questions.

1. What version of FreeTDS do you have installed?

2. Show me the output of tsql -C on your system where tsql is the one installed by FreeTDS and which TinyTDS is compiled against.

3. Have you tried using just user@server?

I tried user@server (just that) and it worked! Tx for your super fast response.
