FreeTDS Development Group

Ok, thanks for confirming. One reason I'm using freetds is to avoid having to
ask anyone to do anything on the Windows machine to enable communication, and 
I
believe DBD::ODBC would require them to run DBD::Proxy. Since I'm only doing
lookups in a couple of tables, I'll either handle quoting manually or use
$dbh->quote(). Thanks,

Wes

The message is true, placeholders are only supported under TDS 5.0 (and
even then support is flakey).  For placeholders with TDS 7.0, I'd
recommend trying out DBD::ODBC which supports a bind column type option.
