If at all possible, please do setup some form of automated testing for this adapter. Say a script that checks out Active Record once a day/week, runs the tests, and emails you if something is b0rked. That'd give us the confidence that this adapter is always operational even if the core team can't test it themselves.
I don't personally have the resources to set up an automated system with access to a Sybase database, but I'll certainly keep up to date with trunk and frequently run those unit tests manually. Perhaps there's a good Samaritan out there somewhere...?
Regarding those unit test caveats, I can probably get those cleaned up too, with a little advice. The date problem is a single bug regarding "decorated" (?) dates on a HABTM join table always coming back in String form. I'm guessing that should be a Date or Time object, right? I haven't been able to track down where the conversion is failing.
Also, I'm getting four errors on :polymorphic joins, with INSERT tag_id of NULL. I assume the other adapters aren't seeing this, so gotta be some subtle problem with the Sybase adapter. See my email from yesterday for details.
And finally, there's the binary support, which with the ctlib bindings seems to require a separate loading method. I can probably track that one down on my end, but the other two problems have me baffled. Any suggestions?
