Any status on this issue?  Our shop uses UnixODBC and needs a solution to
stored proc output parameters with MS SQL 7.0.  If I understand Frediano
this is on his ToDo list.

As I said, we are not so much looking for a work-around, but rather, looking
for when this will be supported, natively in UnixODBC and FreeTDS such that
we can BindParameters and then call Execute/ExecDirect with the query
syntax:   "{ ? = call myproc(?, ?,) }"

Let me know if we can help move this through the pipeline.

Thanks.

Hi Tim!

This is one of my TODO for 0.62. Not still in CVS.
RPC output will work with syntax like "   {   ?


   =                    call 
myproc(?,?,?) 
}               "
(this is a syntax that work even with ms...).

However syntax like "{?=call myproc(??)} select * from table" (with more
statement) won't work...
