I putted some "FIXME ICONV" in query.c. Mainly some sizes are needed
before sending string...
Also our library do not work with non ASCII extended charset. It this a
problem? Some code require query parsing, so extended ascii charset
(even utf8) work, ebcdici (how to write it?) not!



I renamed TDS_COMPLETED in TDS_IDLE and changed code in query.c to test
this state instead of "PENDING". I also changed all server type define
to an enum. My intention is to use enum so compiler can provide better
warnings (working with ODBC I have server type, odbc server type and
odbc c type... a lot of confusion... also there are 4 function to
convert from a type to another...)



Anyone know how to pass dynamic query to Sybase passing types? Can I
post a dynamic query like

create proc my_proc @pippo int as ... ??

In TDS7+ I do something like
sp_prepare @P1 out, '@pippo int', 'select @pippo', 1
sp_execute @P1, @param1, @param2 ...



When I issue an RPC no TDS_DONE is returned (last returned is
TDS_DONEPROC without continue). Perhaps we can test tds->state after
tds_process_results_token but this lead future problem when we implement
full thread-safe... I tried also to not process TDS_DONE* in
tds_process_row but many problems raise (6/7 unittests fail...)



Bill... can you post a patch on TDS_DONE work? Or your entire work?
