Yes

Yes and not. It returns an empty string, that is an unknown statement.
Drivers are not required to support this option, they can return
unknown.

Not currently under FreeTDS and is implementable only using mssql7+ (not
Sybase, not mssql < 7). Not that difficult to code but not so important
to me...
