Çinar,

First of all, welcome.

FreeTDS's API documentation is nonexistent as yet, and we don't have a good
teaching example, either. For working examples (not always in the finest
style), you can refer to the unittest directories in src/dblib, src/ctlib,
and src/odbc.

The reason we don't have API documentation is that we didn't invent the
APIs. FreeTDS is a free reimplementation of Sybase's and Microsoft's
libraries, which they document quite thoroughly online. Links to their
documentation can be found in our FAQ.

For people completely new to the question, I wrote a little description of
the APIs, which I keep at
http://www.schemamania.org/projects/freetds/doc/which_api.html.

Mastering a library can be quite daunting and confusing at first. Once you
process your first query, though, it will start to make better sense.

Regards,
