These results are all to be expected - FreeTDS is missing support for a
number of ClientLibrary features.

FreeTDS doesn't support the ct_param() call, or executing stored
procedures as RPC commands (yet).

MS-SQL behaves differently from Sybase wrt certain constraints and how
it handles errors in multi-statement requests.

This means that setting $dbh->{LongReadLen} = <some value> does NOT
work. You have to use $dbh->do("set textsize = <somevalue>"); instead.

The "out of memory" error is due to LongReadLen not getting set as it
should.
That said you should be able to perform normal SQL requests without any
problems.
