Yes and no, talking of the latest sources/snapshot of course. It does
support long varchar values, but it doesn't implement the full JDBC
standard and there are many things still missing.

At best you go and try simple testcases that prototype your intended
use.

FreeTDS does a lot better than the JDBC-ODBC bridge with regard to
concurrency but I'd never bet that deadlocks can be avoided in every
case - I wouldn't do so for any non trivial application anyway.
