As mentioned by others Ms-SQL Server (all versions) use TDS 4.2, The
original Microsoft SQL-Server was nothing more than Sybase version 4.2
(and hence protocol version 4.2), Sybase seems to have had at least one
update to the protocol between 4.2 and 4.9, and then for System 10 went to
TDS 5.0 along with ct-lib and such....Microsoft has not (and probably
won't) tracked any of these changes so 4.2 still works. Actually 4.2
stills works on Sybase 11.5 (and I presume 11.9), but there is little
support of the newer numeric types and such.
