Seems to me that this should not be a concern of a protocol library like
FreeTDS but some other higher framework like an ORM, ActiveRecord, CoreData,
etc. Like those frameworks, the manage schema information at another layer
either thru some object model or with schema reflection. Then as SQL is build
there is all the information needed to knit things together.
