Please add the following lines to your pdns.conf:

opendbx-host-read = MSSQL2k

opendbx-sql-transactbegin = BEGIN TRANSACTION

It uses a different scheme for host configuration (requires the name of the host section in the configuration file of the ctlib client library) and doesn't support the default statement for starting transactions. Please add the following lines to your pdns.conf:

opendbx-host-read = SYBASE
opendbx-host-write = SYBASE
opendbx-sql-transactbegin = BEGIN TRANSACTION
