Hi Perl Monks!

My colleague created 1 table named <pc-name>\EXPRESS:Yield. I want to use DBI to connect it but somehow it couldn't >_<

i have created new connection in ODBC.ini as below: 

 
[PC-NAME]
Description=ODBC Data Sources
Driver=FreeTDS
Port=1433
Server=PC-NAME\SQLEXPRESS
TDS_Version=7.1
Trace=No

[download]
My code to connect to the SQLEXPRESS: 
$dbh=DBI->connect("dbi:MTODBC:PC-NAME:Yield","<usr>","<pw>") || die "$
+DBI::errstr\n";

[download]

Error message as below: 

checkErrorODBC3 E SQLException: SQLState=[08001] Code=[0] Msg=[[mtodbc
+]: Connecting: [unixODBC][FreeTDS][SQL Server]Unable to connect to da
+ta source]
DBI connect('PC-name:Yield','usr',...) failed: (mtodbc): Connecting: [
