Problem is not MS-SQL or Sybase, problem is CTLib. Code for dynamic was in 
FreeTDS since 0.61 (with some bugs..) however it still works! I did many 
updates for ODBC but CTLib is not my library (I don't know even how to submit 
a dynamic query using CTLib...). Looking at code I saw a lot of TODO. No 
tds_submit_prepare/tds_submit_execute are called however code for parameters 
seem present (for RPC). Bill is preparing a patch for CTLib but I don't know 
is this patch include dynamic implementation.
