Can't disagree...

I haven't gone that far, and will be otherwise occupied...
I suggest that after 0.61, we put in my bcp improvements and then hand it
over to you to rip it out of dblib.
A good case for the libcommon-but-not-tds approach, I think.

will do.

Mmm I'm going to SQL first, then TDS 5.

one more push and I might be there....
