9	- Microsoft SQL Server Express (Windows Only)
10	- Sybase Adaptive Server (Windows, Linux, *NIX)

13You must set the following environment variables to run the tests:
14	- PDO_DBLIB_TEST_DSN  - DSN (e.g., dblib:host=localhost;dbname=test)
15	- PDO_DBLIB_TEST_USER - database user
16	- PDO_DBLIB_TEST_PASS - database user password

18This extension supports multiple versions of the TDS protocol. There are
19behavioral differences between versions. When making changes, it's recommended
20to test across all supported versions. You can specify a version using a version
21parameter in the DSN. See dblib_driver.c:pdo_dblib_handle_factory() for valid
22values. Some tests check version-specific behavior by parsing this string, so
23it's best to use the DSN (rather than freetds.conf, etc.) to set the version.
