Hi,



I tried connecting to sql server using a password whose length is more than
30 characters and it is failing. I am using the dbopen() API to connect.
After searching the freetds dblib code, found that
${top_dir}/include/tds.hhas this line in it which is causing the
problem:



*#define TDS_MAX_LOGIN_STR_SZ    30 *



The field length is somehow limited to 30 characters and making the value
to 128 apparently fixes the issue just for now.



Just wanted to know,

- If this 30 characters limitations is documented somewhere ?

- Is it safe to simply increase the value to 128 for now to work around the
limitation for now..



*Note *: I am interested to connect just using the TDS 7.1 version.



Any pointers around this would be really appreciated.



Thanks in advance ,
