Excellent suggestion.  In fact, if the JDBC side of this list had a
FAQ, the first question should be:

 Q. What do I need to supply when I ask about a problem I am having
    with freetds_jdbc?
 A. At a minimum, you need to specify:
      1. The version(s) of freetds_jdbc you are using.
      2. The version(s) of the TDS protocol you are using.
      3. The version(s) of the JVM you are using.
      4. Which DBMS you are using (including version and platform).
      5. Which platform you are running your client software on.
      6. Whether the problem is present with the latest snapshot.
      7. What other layers are present (e.g., CGI wrappers).
    If you supply all this information, you will have a *much*
    better chance of eliciting helpful responses from the list.
    Of course, any other information (including source code)
    sufficient to allow someone else to reproduce the problem
    will be useful as well.

Of course, question number two would be:

 Q. How do I tell what version of freetds_jdbc I'm using?

Edson-- Would you be willing to submit a patch which implements your
suggestion?
