    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    we have already encountered this problem a few weeks ago. See the
    following thread: [syslog-ng] Microsoft SQL connect issue<br>
    <br>
    My summary from this thread:<br>
    "Hm... You are right, it seems that syslog-ng tries to connect to
    the database that is the default for the specified user in config.
    However, I've checked it in syslog-ng source, and syslog-ng uses the
    same code for all database types for connecting and passes the name
    of database properly and in case of other databases it works, too.<br>
    So, it is a bug, but not in syslog-ng but in freetds or libdbi.
    Report a bug on it, please, and we will check if we can fix it"<br>

          There is a dont-create-tables option in newer syslog-ngs which
          will fix<br>
          this one.<br>
          <br>
          dont-create-tables: Enable this flag to prevent syslog-ng OSE
          from<br>
          creating non-existing database tables automatically. The
          syslog-ng OSE<br>
          application typically has to create tables if you use macros
          in the<br>
          table names. Available in syslog-ng OSE version 3.2 and later.<br>
