Hello Everyone,

 

I have searched the archives and not found any information about using
VARYBINBIND with dbbind.

 

We would like to convert an application from Sybase's DBLIB to FreeTDS,
but are having a problem with varbinary data. 

 

The application DB contains tables with varbinary fields which get bound
to the local application variables via a dbbind and the vartype
parameter is set to VARYBINBIND.

 

Initially the application didn't compile because VARYBINBIND is not
defined in FreeTDS. I tried VARYCHARBIND, but this failed during
execution because it fails the tds_willconvert check (tds_willconvert
doesn't contain any SYBVARBINARY data types). I see that the
SYBVARBINARY datatype is supported in the tds_convert_binary routine, so
it looks like FreeTDS would handle the varbinary data; I just have to
get past the dbbind.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Doug
