Hello,

I'd like to report the following :

I'm using Perl DBI Interface + Sybase interface (DBD::Sybase 0.23) to
interact with a MSSQL 7.0 database.
I'm using the CVS version of FreeTDS

I compiled using '--with-tdsver=7.0'.

I'm using an auto-incremented index column in the database (identity in
MSSQL terms), and I use it that way :
1) insert a record in the DB using 'INSERT (...) values (....)'
2) querying the generated value of the index using 'SELECT @@IDENTITY'

When I get then the result of the query, the value returned lacks the
rightmost digit. (Ie, instead of getting, after 'SELECT @@IDENTITY', the
value '41759' for index, I have instead the value '4157' )

Did anybody experience the same problem ? Do you have a solution ?

As a temporary workaround, I applied the following patch to
'src/ctlib/ct.cc', and it seems to solve the problem (But it is surely
breaking something, as I'm comenting out a piece of code that surely
have some purpose. Nevertheless, I found nothing wrong with the basic
queries I'm using.)

As I have no knowledge of neither MSSQL neither TDS, can you please
analyse this and tell me what's wrong ? I may also be totally wrong, and
the problem may be in DBD::Sybase.

Please keep my informed (I do read the mailing list).


Regards,

Ludovic LANGE
