Hi,

I'm new to interfacing with FreeTDS in C. While attempting to fetch
text, using ct-lib, from MSSQL 2008. I'm seeing the maxlength of the
field is 2GB, which is obviously too large to malloc. What's the best
practice for reading in data of unknown length?

Thanks,
- Erik

Well, use lenght instead of maxlenght and allocate as long as you need
