If the ctlib/dblib APIs are so much more mature than the ODBC API, would it
be possible for me to write an application using the ct/db-lib API to
interface with a MS SQL 2000 server? I don't really need much of the
functionality offered in TDS versions greater than 4.2 (if this matters or
not I don't know). Could someone please point me to some ctlib/dblib API
documentation that I could as reference? Maybe I am misunderstanding this,
but is this what PHP currently uses to interface with the database since ODBC
is still lacking some features?
