Connecting to SQL database on a macOS Catalina version 10.15.5

Needed some help on connecting to a sql server running as a docker container on macOS. I am trying to use the odbc package to connect to the database. I installed unixODBC using home brew. However when I run odbcListDrivers it shows me no drivers. This is what odbcinst -j shows :

unixODBC 2.3.7
DRIVERS............: /etc/odbcinst.ini
SYSTEM DATA SOURCES: /etc/odbc.ini
FILE DATA SOURCES..: /etc/ODBCDataSources
USER DATA SOURCES..: /Users/dhirajkhanna/.odbc.ini
SQLULEN Size.......: 8
SQLLEN Size........: 8
SQLSETPOSIROW Size.: 8

This is what exists in my /etc/odbcinst.ini

[Simba SQL Server ODBC Driver]
Driver = /Library/simba/sqlserverodbc/lib/libsqlserverodbc_sbu.dylib[FreeTDS]
Description=FreeTDS Driver for Linux & MSSQL
Driver=/usr/local/lib/libtdsodbc.so
Setup=/usr/local/lib/libtdsodbc.so
UsageCount=1

And this is what exists in my ~/.odbcinst.ini

[FreeTDS]
Description = FreeTDS Driver for Linux & MSSQL
Driver = /usr/local/lib/libtdsodbc.so
Setup = /usr/local/lib/libtdsodbc.so
UsageCount = 1[ODBC Drivers]
Simba SQL Server ODBC Driver = Installed[Simba SQL Server ODBC Driver]
Driver = /Library/simba/sqlserverodbc/lib/libsqlserverodbc_sbu.dylib

But for some reason odbc::odbcListDrivers() gives me this:

[1] name attribute value
<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)

Here's my session info:
