:-) You may want to join the FreeTDS mailing list, and ask there. Known issues are placeholders (they don't work), LongReadLen attribute doesn't work (use "set textsize xxx" instead) (actually almost none of the handle attributes work correctly, because this is implemented via the ct_options() API call, and that call isn't implemented [or at least not implemented correctly] by freetds.
