Hi, I also reported this problem on the pyodbc mailing list but maybe
one of you know a workaround.

I'm trying to use pyodbc on RHEL 5.3 64 bit but all my strings are
filled with garbage after position 1024.  Here is an example:

  import pyodbc
  conn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL 
Server};UID=foo;PWD=bar;DATABASE=qux;SERVER=quux;TDS_Version=8.0')
  conn.execute("select %r" % ("=" * 1030))

This is what I get back:

[('===============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================\x00\x01\x00i;S+',
 
)]

This is the content of my /etc/odbcinst.ini:
------------------------------
[SQL Server]
Description = FreeTDS Driver
Driver = /usr/lib64/libtdsodbc.so.0
UsageCount = 1
------------------------------

When I try to do the same on Ubuntu 8.10, both 32 bit and 64 bit, I
get expected result, that is, a string of "=" 1030 character long.

On RHEL 5.3, unixodbc is 2.2.11-7.1, on Ubuntu it's 2.2.11-16build2,
what ever that means.  I'm running Pyodbc 2.1.5 on Python 2.5.

I get the same error with SQLAlchemy 0.5.3 with the following:

  from sqlalchemy import create_engine
  eng = create_engine("mssql://foo:b...@qux/quux?DRIVER={SQL 
Server}&TDS_Version=7.0")
  conn = eng.connect()
  conn.execute(...).fetchall()

Anyone has an idea on what can cause this and how it can be solved?

My idea was to fall back on pymssql but Alchemy 0.5.3 does not seem to
like pymssql 1.0.2 and I find 0.8 has documented problems on 64 bit
systems.  What do you guys recommend?  Running the experimental 0.6
Alchemy branch?
