[QGIS-Developer] MSSQL driver not found & Can't open lib 'SQL Server' - QGIS 2.18 LTR on Debian

[kimaidou]

Thanks for your answers. I managed to connect with QGIS MSSQL native
provider under my Debian box with the following steps
https://gist.github.com/mdouchin/64f7733a3c4ecfe441f65d5529351a30

I have a weird behaviour. For some layers, QGIS Desktop cannot display the
features attributes : the attribute table is empty, and the identify tool
returns no feature. BUT I can see the points in my map, so QGIS can query
the geography field from the database. For some other layers, wich seems
identical (same structure for example), I can see the attributes (full
attribute table and identify OK)

Have anyone seen this behaviour before ?

Cheers
Michaël
