Yes, this is fine. But this driver (dbd-tds) is mostly done.
And I think that way described in my previous letter:
"But I think it could be better to use the tds layer for my task.
Because DBD is a database-dependend layer of the DBI architecture,
I hope You know about. So DBD should be a link between DBI calls and
database-dependend CLI libraries (libtds?).
[userApp] <-> [libDBI] <-> [DBD-FreeTDS shared object (driver)] <->
[libtds] <=TDS=> [MSSQL/Sybase DBMS]"
is better than
[userApp] <-> [libDBI] <-> [DBD-FreeTDS shared object (driver)] <-> [ct-lib or
any other] <-> [libtds] <=TDS=> [MSSQL/Sybase DBMS]
Yes , sure. Using stable API is more light way... but any way when driver work
with driver it's not very good.
