Michael,

I've managed to get your example up and running and have a log of the
activity under 5.0, now I'm working on the implementation.

I'm currently considering the possibility of a client side implementation
for non-TDS 5.0 users.  Your example explicitly describes the input to the
query, does DBD::Sybase do the same or does it rely on the feedback of
ct_describe() to get type information?

Anyone know what happens with databases lacking placeholder support? Is it
just not allowed under DBI or is there a work around?

Brian

P.S. Anyone want to send me a network trace of TDS 7 doing placeholder
(in ODBC) stuff?
