Hi, I am using DBI v1.37 with DBD-Sybase 0.94 and freetds V0.60 I seem to be getting \0 appended to the end of the strings returned through the DBI. I have tried different versions of the DBD-Sybase and freetds and still have the same problem.
Is there anyway of configuring DBI to automatically strip the \0 ? I can do it with a regex substitute in the Perl script but because of the number of strings returned, it would make a considerable difference to the performance if it was able to be done at the machine code level of the DBI much rather than the interpreter level of the Perl script. Is there a config or switch I can turn on at the DBI/DBD driver compile time or in the Perl script to do this ? Does anybody have any other suggestions to get around the problem ? Thanks for any assistance. Michael Eales
