Michael,

I don't know if this is what you're after, but I can tell you that
freetds doesn't have any issues with large (n)(var)char columns per se.

I've just written a program that selects text from syscomments, which in
SQL server is NVARCHAR(4000) -
I'm using db-library, mind.

I notice stuff in the Sybase open client client-library reference manual
(12.5) with respect to support for WIDE varchars etc. I don't think we
have done anything specific to deal with wide columns, but they may just
work out of the box...

I am keen on getting ct-lib as complete as possible.
As you may have picked up, we now have the blk library implemented, as
well as the ct_cursor() functionality, enabling clients to interact with
server side cursors through the API. I am next looking at ct_dynamic()
etc.
If there are any specifics that we don't implement that are important to
you, then let me know, and I'll put them on my TODO list.

Bill

Hi,

What is the state of support for wide (nvarchar(3500)) support in
FreeTDS, and in CT-lib?

This is a DBD::Sybase script that goes against an MS-SQL 2k server, and
uses TDS 8.

I can't test directly because it's something that I wrote for a third
party but where I don't have access to the final database (and I don't
have an MS server to test with, myself)

Thanks!

Michael
