Oops, got that backwards.  It works as expected with ASA8, doesn't with
MSSQLServer2000

Hello,

I am using freetds 0.62.4 to connect to MSSQLServer 2000 and Sybase ASA
8 databases from SUSE Linux (SLES9).

Things are fine for the most part, now that I figured out that
TDS_SUCCESS doens't really mean success in terms of the SQL command
succeeding.  I check the resulttype for TDS_CMD_FAIL to see if the
command failed for a SQL error.  

Well, the ASA server reports TDS_ROWFMT_RESULT when the error has to do
with datatype conversion (and maybe others) but properly reports
TDS_CMD_FAIL when I have used RAISERROR, or there is a SQL syntax error
for example.  

The MSSQLServer server does The Right Thing in all cases I have tested.

Is this normal, a problem with ASA8, or maybe with FreeTDS?

I am using TDS Version 5 for ASA and version 7 for MSSQLServer2000.

Thank you in advance...
