 * **OK, I am installing FreeTDS, how do I configure it?** Contrary to what most people think, you do not need to specially configure FreeTDS in any way for client libraries like TinyTDS to use it. About the only requirement is that you compile it with libiconv for proper encoding support. FreeTDS must also be compiled with OpenSSL (or the like) to use it with Azure. See the "Using TinyTDS with Azure" section below for more info.

Technically compiling and using TDS version 7.2 with FreeTDS is not supported. But this does not mean those data types will not work.

 TinyTDS takes an opinionated stance on how we handle encoding errors. First, we treat errors differently on reads vs. writes. Our opinion is that if you are reading bad data due to your client's encoding option, you would rather just find `?` marks in your strings vs being blocked with exceptions. This is how things wold work via ODBC or SMS. On the other hand, writes will raise an exception. In this case we raise the SYBEICONVO/2402 error message which has a description of `Error converting characters into server's character set. Some character(s) could not be converted.`. Even though the severity of this message is only a `4` and TinyTDS will automatically strip/ignore unknown characters, we feel you should know that you are inserting bad encodings. In this way, a transaction can be rolled back, etc. Remember, any database write that has bad characters due to the client encoding will still be written to the database, but it is up to you rollback said write if needed. Most ORMs like ActiveRecord handle this scenario just fine.
 
 
+## Timeout Error Handling
+
+TinyTDS will raise a `TinyTDS::Error` when a timeout is reached based on the options supplied to the client. Depending on the reason for the timeout, the connection could be dead or alive. When db processing is the cause for the timeout, the connection should still be usable after the error is raised. When network failure is the cause of the timeout, the connection will be dead. If you attempt to execute another command batch on a dead connection you will see a `DBPROCESS is dead or not enabled` error. Therefore, it is recommended to check for a `dead?` connection before trying to execute another command batch.
+
 ## Binstubs
 
 The TinyTDS gem uses binstub wrappers which mirror compiled [FreeTDS Utilities](http://www.freetds.org/userguide/usefreetds.htm) binaries. These native executables are usually installed at the system level when installing FreeTDS. However, when using MiniPortile to install TinyTDS as we do with Windows binaries, these binstubs will find and prefer local gem `exe` directory executables. These are the following binstubs we wrap.

 ## Compiling Gems for Windows
 
-For the convenience of Windows users, TinyTDS ships pre-compiled gems for Ruby 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 on Windows. In order to generate these gems, [rake-compiler-dock](https://github.com/rake-compiler/rake-compiler-dock) is used. This project provides a [Docker image](https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/larskanis/rake-compiler-dock/) with rvm, cross-compilers and a number of different target versions of Ruby.

 Run the following rake task to compile the gems for Windows. This will check the availability of [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) (and boot2docker on Windows or OS-X) and will give some advice for download and installation. When docker is running, it will download the docker image (once-only) and start the build:

+into another, lighter, container without build tools you will need to make sure you tell the OS how to find dependencies for TinyTDS.
+
+After you have built and installed FreeTDS it will normally place library files in `/usr/local/lib`. When TinyTDS builds native extensions,
+it [already knows to look here](https://github.com/rails-sqlserver/tiny_tds/blob/master/ext/tiny_tds/extconf.rb#L31) but if you copy your app to a new container that link will be broken.

+Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}` and run `ldconfig`. If you run `ldd tiny_tds.so` you should not see any broken links. Make
+sure you also copied in the library dependencies from your build container with a command like `COPY --from=builder /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib`.
