This type had many problems:
- conversions to VARBINARY was unavailable
- unsupported VARBINARY > 255 (mssql7+)
(also a bad buffer overflow was spotted)
This was fixed saving VARBINARY in libtds in the same way of BINARY (a
simple array of bytes). This has some drawbacks:
- conversion to VARBINARY are trivial (the good one)
- libraries should handle "conversion" from libtds VARBINARY to library
VARBINARY. It seem that dblib/ctlib do not return VARBINARY type.. quite
strange.
