I am having a very odd problem trying to encapsulate a library that isolates
the underlying backend DB (I have to support both mssql and mysql with the
same front end). I have isolated the offending code as follows:
$resb=sql_QUERY($sql);
$recds=num_ROWS($resb);

I'm having a problem with retrieving field data from SQL SERVER 2000 and am
not sure where the problem lies. I have a variable length field (from 100 -

A free alternative that works very well is sqlyog. Google it as I don't have
the url handy (it may be www.webyog.com or .org). I also use MySQL Front as

ensure that I am compatible with future releases of MySQL.
