FreeTDS Development Group

[Craig Spannring <cts AT internetcds.com>]

I would imagine most people interested in FreeTDS need it for
TDS version 4.2.  Sybase seems interested in supporting JDBC
and certain Unix platforms.  Microsoft seems to have no interest
supporting anything but native Win32.

5.0 is a much nicer protocol to implement, but my interest lies with
SQLServer.  Besides that, I don't have access to any Sybase servers or
clients so I really can't assist much on 5.0 issues.


BTW- I've been working on a type 4 JDBC driver for TDS 4.2 the last
few weeks.  If you want I can mail you a sneak peek.

The status of the driver so far is-

   CallableStatement-

      Have implemented the constructor, and execute().  executeQuery()
      and executeUpdate(), clearParamenters() are inherited.

      Only a limited number of data types are implemented for
      parameters. 


   Connection -  

      Have implemented the constructor, prepareStatement(),
      createStatement(), prepareCall(), getMetaData().


   DatabaseMetaData-

      Only the constructor is implemented.

   Driver-

      Fully implemented.

   PreparedStatement-

      Have implemented the constructor, clearParameters(), execute(),
      executeCall(), executeQuery(), setDate(), setDouble(),
      setFloat(), setInt(), setLong(), setString().

      Only a limited number of data types are implemented for
      parameters. 


   ResultSet-

      Have implemented the constructor, close(), findColumn(),
      getBigDecimal(), getByte(), getBytes(), getDouble(), getFloat(),
      getInt(), getLong(), getMetaData(), getString(),
      getTimestamp(), next(), wasNull().

      getObject() is partially implemented.

   
   ResultSetMetaData-

      Have implemented getColumnCount(), getColumnDisplaySize(),
      getColumnLabel(), getColumnName(), getColumnType(),
      getColumnTypeName(), isCurrency().


   Statement-
      
      Have implemented the constructor, executeQuery(),
      executeUpdate(), close(), execute(), getResultSet(),
      getUpdateCount(), getMoreResults().

      cancel() is partially implemented.
