freeTDS: Missing libtdsodbc.so file on OSX?
freetds, macos, python
Solution
So according to This thread here the issue is with the way freeTDS is built now, you need to use `brew install freetds --with-unixodbc` and I can verify this fixed my problem.
Problem
I am trying to connect to a SQL server from a python script on a Mac OSX and after installing freeTDS using `brew install freeTDS` I can't seem to find the driver "`libtdsodbc.so`" anywhere on my machine so that I can place it in the connection string. Has anyone ever encountered this problem or knows why it's happening? Thanks
