Hi Lakh,

welcome to freeTDS.

Your workaround seems reasonable. Sybase's sybdb.h has MAXNAME #define'd
although comments around it suggest that its there for backwards
compatibility only.
In my sybase sybdb.h it seems to be replaced going forward with DBMAXNAME ,
as less likely to conflict with any #define in applications.

Bill
