Indeed that would follow if we had multiple backends. Indeed, it could go further and capture multiple return fields, either by name or in the manner of regexp backreferences. This kind of incremental advance happens when someone feels motivated to hack it. > I don't think, I'm the best person to implement this -- whoever > "quick-hacked" the dbd-maps in recently is, probably, better positioned > to do this ;-) It wasn't actually very recent: https://svn.eu.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=454683 > P.S.

Does anyone care? To be fair, I think that driver carried some health warnings! I think I've pointed a few people at the ODBC driver as an alternative. Do you have a strong reason to use FreeTDS rather than ODBC? One question here may be, does anyone have the platforms to test-drive your patch? It seems to do rather more than just fix a simple bug: you've removed the untainting code which was part of protecting against injection attacks. Have you implemented prepared statements properly for all backends? It worked for its original users at the time it was written, but I guess it's withered on the vine since then. Maybe it's some stumbling on some difference between the different FreeTDS backends: you might even be the first person to report trying it with Sybase! -- Nick Kew
