I access MSSQL using a recompile version of PHP with sysbase using freeTDS
from CVS. I don't know which tarball version they are but CVS fixed most of
my problems...

The problems that subsist are
Query results are limited to a few hundred bytes per field (problem blong
freeTDS or PHP?)
No access to binary data (varbinary, BLOB,...)


Chers...

(PHP 3.0.16 --with      -sybase)

                I am having a horrible time accessing a Microsoft SQL7
server with FreeTDS
                (latest version) from Linux (1st; but planning on deploying
Solaris and
                Tru64).  I will be using FreeTDS with both Perl and PHP4
RC2.  

                1) Is anyone successfully accessing MSSQL7 in this
environment?
                2) If so, using what combination of tools (ie. Sybperl,
DBD:Sybase-0.28,
                PHP4RC2)
                3) Any suggestions?

                I have also taken considerable efforts with ODBC-ODBC Bridge
by EasySoft
                (www.easysoft.com) and OpenLink Software's
(http://www.openlinksw.com) to
                satisfy my Unix->MSSQL requirements (for a small, but high
profile project
                that is falling behind timeline).   I am new to this
configuration but have
                extensive experience with MySQL, mSQL and various Un*x, but
not this damned
                ODBC and MSSQL requirement.

                Help appreciated.

                PS: I plan on recording my successes (when I finally realize
them) and
                noting my failures (which I've had over the past 4 days now)
providing both
                documents to www.FreeTDS.org and www.php.net to assist
others.

                Best regards,
