Hi All,
I've been using DBD:Sybase -> freeTDS -> MSSQL 2000 for three years now. I've 
been porting some of the code to C recently and am basically cutting the Perl 
piece out.

My questions are: what are the major differences between ctlib, dblib, and 
using the code under src/tds?

My guess is that the ctlib and dblib use the tds libs, but haven't seen much 
mention of this. 

I've tried out both the ctlib and tds piece on it's own, and am considering 
trying out the dblib. 

Why would I pick one over the other?

Lastly, which is most likely to support 2005 use?

I'd like to use placeholders and bulkcopies and text fields. I didn't have 
much success with the Bulk Copies for TEXT or placeholders in ctlib. I didn't 
see any references to bulk in the TDS code but the placeholders worked ok (as 
long as it's not a text field insert). That's why I'm now considering trying 
out dblib, but I have concern that this lib won't be supported in the future.

Thanks,
Patrick
