Guillaume, 

I'm glad you're trying FreeTDS.  I hope it does what you want.  I don't
know the answer to your question.  

Please subscribe to the FreeTDS mailing list and have a look at the
archives.  I've forwarded your question to the list.  

You'll find the people there helpful and friendly, and I'm sure they
know more about syb_result_type than I do.  For instance, the man who
wrote DBD::Sybase, Michael Peppler, frequently answers questions on the
list.  

Kind regards,
