Hi,
I feel that this is still an issue that needs to be addressed with a
package addition. The php5-sybase package is not sufficient as it is
meant to handle sybase and not Microsoft SQL Server databases.
When using php5-sybase to query ntext data (unicode text) Microsoft SQL
Server 2000 says:
Strange attitude, Ondřej. We're all just trying to make the product
better so let's work together and be civil to each other.
Please let me know if any of the following facts are incorrect - it may
be that me (and others) are misunderstanding. PHP's mssql and sybase
libraries are different. As
Ok, I say it once again. What is contents of your php5-sybase package?
There is MSSQL.SO - so I would understand a bug asking for building
separate SYBASE extension.
In debian/patches/119-sybase-alias.patch we aliased SYBASE functions to
MSSQL in EXT/MSSQL/PHP_MSSQL.C and php5 is built with (see
It's such a shame that it's taken this long to elicit an explanation
from the packaging team, instead of just php5-sybase provides
php5-mssql now. Obviously if php5-sybase provides true MSSQL support as
well as Sybase support then this bug is not valid (any more).
There are people here who know
It's been a while since I've been working with MSSQL, which is why I'm
only just revisiting this bug.
The Sybase (DBLIB) drivers do not provide all the functionality needed
when using a Microsoft SQL Server DB. For example, using this driver
with PDO reports that transactions and stored
we need a real php5-mssql package with true Microsoft SQL server
support
No, what you need to add required functionality to php5-sybase. Both
extensions use SAME freetds library. It's just matter of bug or lack
of feature in sybase extension. Feel free to aproach php team to fix
these
+1
even if this bug is seen as a rant by some official people involved,
nobody ever gave a reason on why this _packaging_ issue seems so hard to
fix.
RedHat, SuSE, Mandriva, ... to name but a few other major distributions
all seem to be able to package php-mssql but obviously it seems to be
What is really ridiculous is that you complain just about package NAME.
Have you really checked contents of php5-sybase package?
