From looking around the code, it looks like there is no support for 
accessing the data from numeric data types... is this correct? The 
tds code seems to convert it to a TDS_NUMERIC structure in place, but 
I don't see code in ctlib or dblib that is using that.

There was code in src/tds/token.c up until version 1.20 (checked in 
this morning by jkl) that did some checks for issues of sybase v. 
microsoft, but that's gone now (along with comments describing the 
wire protocol differences).

James -- any particular reason you removed this? That code isn't 
mentioned in the ChangeLog or the cvs log, so I was wondering about 
the rational for removing it.

Any knowledge out there on what do with the the array in a 
TDS_NUMERIC? I've got some sample data, but I can't figure out how to 
map what's in the database to what was returned over the wire.

I'd like to get numeric support working, but I'm at a loss as to 
what's currently going on.

Thanks.
