Namespace pollution, for one. If you absolutely must have this
function, I would prefer that it be named _dbtablecolinfo() or even
_freetds_dbtablecolinfo().
But since you know the DB-Library API is deficient with respect to the
requirements of this application, why not just write the application
using one of the other APIs?
