Hi Bill,

It does seem to work although I was surprised it was required !
Thanks for the quick response, any views on what I'm trying to do, as I said
I'm very new to freeTDS ?
I already have quite a few classes built upon sybperl for sybase so I was
hoping to reuse them for ms sqlserver.

Regards

Lakh

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
