Sorry if this is a newbie error, but I'm trying to read some fairly large 
chunks of byte data out of a MS SQLServer (v6.5) using the FreeTDS JDBC 
driver and the getBytes() call on a resultset. It works great for records 
with a fairly small amout of data in the blob column (<1k), but when I try 
to read larger byte arrays not all the data is returned and no error is 
thrown. I traced into the code for getBytes(int) in ResultSet.java and 
found the following lines that look suspect:

else if (tmp instanceof TdsAsciiInputStream) {
  // XXX I'm not sure this is a legal conversion
  result = ((TdsAsciiInputStream)tmp).toString().getBytes();
}

Has the JDBC Driver been updated lately? (I've looked on the FreeTDS site, 
but couldn't find a newer version of the JDBC driver.)
Can anyone suggest a better way to store Java objects in a BLOB field with 
FreeTDS?

Thanks,
Dan Rollo
