I am happy for you. We are using MSSQL 7.0, with service pack 2. We also use FreeTDS with PHP, and had some minor problems, but nothing major. There are/were many really screwy problems with FreeTDS like memory leaks and segfaults, and part of the problem is the reverse engineering, but it's a good suspect. We're always using the latest version of FreeTDS, and AFAIK it's been 0.53 for quite a while. This server hang problem is very irritating, and ambiguity of it really sucks. Where to look? DBD:Sybase? FreeTDS? MSSQL? So many layers. Does anyone on this list use MSSQL with Sybase client libraries by any chance? UnixODBC or iODBC with a commercial ODBC driver? What are your results? I've used Sybase client libraries with MSSQL 6.5 in the past with good results. Had more problems with 7.0. BTW, FreeTDS have a very early version of an ODBC driver. They're willing to finish it if you sponsor them. If FreeTDS makes you a profit, may as well support the developers :) === Archive at http://www.open.com.au/archives/radiator/ Announcements on [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, email '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' with 'unsubscribe radiator' in the body of the message.
