dbrpcsend:

calls   param_info_alloc
calls           tds_set_column_type
calls                   tds_get_cardinal_type

tds_get_cardinal_type() is the problem.  

You may with to try this:

1.  Copy tds_set_column_type to a new function, say, tds_set_param_type
2.  Remove tds_get_cardinal_type() from tds_set_param_type (just use
'type')
3.  Modify param_info_alloc to call tds_set_param_type()

That would be a useful experiment.  

If that works, I would be pleased to apply your patch.  :-)
