# Configurations that Work

The right combination of switches to make FreeTDS do its magic depends on

- Sybase/Microsoft platform

- Version of the server (SQL Server 7, or whatever)

- Server CPU & OS

- Client CPU & OS

Most combinations work, and the list below is too small and out of date. One of these days, we'll update it.

We asked subscribers to the FreeTDS mailing list to tell us what combinations they use. Here are the results.
