Dear FreeTDS developers,

It appears like '-h' option in freebcp doesn't work well. If used, freebcp 
generates error like:

Msg 20076, Level 7
bcp_init must be called before any other bcp routines

I was able to fix that by calling bcp_options(dbproc, BCPHINTS ...) right 
after bcp_init, but may be there's more elegant way of doing that.


Also, it seems like FIRE_TRIGGERS is missing from the list of allowed hints 
in bcp.c
And, while we're looking at this, may be it doesn't make sense to check 
validity of passed hints on client side at all.
Shouldn't dblib accept whatever hints given to it and leave checking to the 
server?

Just a thought :)
