Irrelevant on Solaris, unless you have Berkeley DB installed. In any
case this does not apply to Client Library, which DBD::Sybase uses.

In the 0.47 release you need to set the tds version to 4.2 or 7 if you 
want to talk to an MS-SQL server. The version that is in the CVS
repository autodetects the protocol version when it connects to the
server (or at least that's my understanding).
