Hi Brett,
You're talking db-lib, right? I wrote src/apps/bsqldb.c just for you. It
does all the basics: connects, issues arbitrary queries, fetches rows
(regular and compute), and the rowcount if there is one, handles nulls,
checks for error conditions. db-lib is also documented in the FreeTDS
Reference Manual, although the vendors' websites do a more thorough job.
If you need return codes and output parameters from stored procedures,
IMHO src/dblib/unittests/rpc.c is a useful example of how to use the rpc
functions. If you have questions about it, feel free to post them here.
HTH.
