Hi all,

I am wondering how hard it would be to add support for ?-placeholders for Sybase to FreeTDS. As far as I can see, this has been a long-standing TODO item, and I wonder what exactly the difficulty is.

Since support for this seems to exist for MSSQL-Server, I assume that the basic functionality is present in FreeTDS, so I suppose it should just be a matter of correctly detecting whether the Sybase server returns this capability upon login. Is that a correct assumption?

Kind regards, Maarten
