James, Hans,

there is also (in Sybase) a dbtextsize() function 
which is related to dbreadtext() which we HAVE implemented.

pt=40316?target=%25N%15_28803_START_RESTART_N%25

again, not too difficult to implement, if you look at the code we've
written for dbreadtext.

Bill

Not too hard.  Cf. src/dblib/dblib.c::dbsetopt().  I think it would be
similar to DBDATEFORMAT; format the correct string for the server and
add it to the command buffer.  It will be sent the next time the buffer
is flushed to the server.
