My guess is that the rpm installs things in /usr/lib /etc/ and
/usr/include. In which case you should probably set SYBASE to /usr.

Welcome, Greg.  

Probably you don't need a SYBASE variable.  FreeTDS doesn't use it
except to find the 'interfaces' file (which you'd know if you needed).
Some applications use a SYBASE variable to locate the shared libraries.
sqsh uses it at build time iirc.  

The right value for SYBASE (if it's needed) is FreeTDS's installation
prefix.  That is, if tsql is in /usr/local/bin, and sybdb.h is in
/usr/local/include, then FreeTDS's installation prefix was /usr/local,
and you should "export SYBASE=/usr/local".  

I'll have to review the docs on this score.  There shouldn't be any
references to "/usr/local/freetds" anymore.  FreeTDS's default prefix
was changed to /usr/local back with 0.60 as I recall.

I'm a bit of a FreeTDS newbie. I'm using Perl and the DBD::Sybase 
module, and I had read in somewhere that I should put:

   BEGIN
   {
       $ENV{SYBASE} = "/usr/local/freetds";
   }

near the top of the script. Is this not needed then?

I commenting it out and running my code it seems to work fine, so I'm 
inclined to delete if it is not needed.

Are there cases where this would be needed?

Thanks for the fast response.  That *does* seem to be the case.

It's not needed by FreeTDS if you're using freetds.conf to describe your
servers.  

Real live ct-lib from Sybase uses the SYBASE variable to locate its
interfaces file.  FreeTDS's equivalent, freetds.conf, has its location
established at build time.  

Cf. "perldoc DBD::Sybase" for more information.  DBI does not use
$SYBASE, and I'm pretty sure DBD::SYBASE doesn't, either.

The key it's always (like Oracle connector) SQLNumResultCols after
SQLPrepare... trying with --enable-developing you will get what you
expect:

$ rm /tmp/sql.log && g++ test_select.cpp -lodbc && ./a.out
test_select.cpp:78 - Rev [1] test_select.cpp:79 - RPC: 1

Current implementation it's no so instable however performance are not
that fine...

More deeply from code comments:

 /* try to prepare query */
 /* TODO try to prepare only getting informations (faster and
optimizable) for mssql2k */

This can wait however mssql2k can prepare and execute using a single
round-trip (a single store procedure call). Not stopping (for 0.63)

 /* TODO support getting info for RPC */

I don't even know if this is possible...

 /*
  * TODO this should be done if all parameters are bounded or using TDS5
  * binary_test for example do not work for this problem (post bind on
image)
  */

binary_test now works using Sybase, not a stop-over, however this
optimization IMO should be implemented in 0.63!

 /* TODO use current parameter informations */  stmt->need_reprepare =
1;

quite bad... for every prepare it prepare statement 2 times... just
cause it need to pass types...


This just to explain that this way of getting result it's not that
good!!! IMHO library should change their code to a more optimized way!!!

Thanks that works on the daily build.
Can I use daily build in staging ( not develop, not live ) ?

Many thanks
