There is no configuration that can be done at the DBD::Sybase level for the BLK handling - if you are limited to 255 chars then it is most likely a limitation of the BLK api implementation of FreeTDS.

I'll throw the wrench in now: I'm using the DBD::Sybase bulk copy interface as well. That's working great but I'm getting a failure on a table that has a varchar(max) column. I haven't isolated it to that yet -- I'm going to test with and without that. In the meantime, if you have any knowledge to bestow on me regarding varchar(max) and bulk copies, let me know. This is a RH Linux environment, FreeTDS drivers. Perl 5.8.7, DBD::Sybase 1.07. Target database is MS SQL Server 9.0.2047. Bulk loading rocks by the way Michael. ;-) > > Michael > > > > > Extranet > [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 21/08/2006 15:27 > > To: fumiakiy > > cc: dbi-users > > > Subject: Re: "max" datatypes support of SQL Server 2005 for DBD-ODBC > > > Fumiaki Yoshimatsu wrote: > >> I had a need to support [n]varchar(max) and varbinary(max) datatypes of >> MS SQL Server 2005, and patched DBD-ODBC. >> Below is the diff from the current svn. > > Does anyone know what, if any, support for these DBD::Sybase has? > > -- > Steve Sapovits [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > This message and any attachments (the "message") is > intended solely for the addressees and is confidential. > If you receive this message in error, please delete it and > immediately notify the sender.
