Hi Michael,

There is VERSION_NO which is defined as "freetds 0.52" in tdsver.h

Personally, I'd prefer not to see freetds-specific hacks in DBD::Sybase,
but instead just bring FreeTDS into compliance as these issues come
up.  If we work around them they never seem to get fixed.  DBD::Sybase
(and in older days, sybperl) have really pushed freetd towards a fuller
implementation, I'd hate to lose that.

I'll see if I can't spare some time this week to sort it out, I've been
working on my other projects (OpenDRDA can now log in to DB2/UDB, but
still can't execute queries until I figure out this FD:OCA garbage, and
I've got the beginnings of an ODBC driver for MDB Tools lifted straight
from FreeTDS of all places).

Cheers,

Brian
