My apologies if this does not hit the right thread - I am responding to a daily digest. I am switching my preferences to email-at-a-time, so this should work better in the future.
The main thing is that I can put tds versions 4.2, 7.0 and 8.0 into my freetds.conf and the logs verify that I am connecting at that level. If I try 9.0, which is what I assume would be 7.2 in the Microsoft versioning scheme, I get a connect failure. Also, I didn't see version 9.0 in the documentation, so my assumption was that it isn't there; I may have missed something.
The other thing is that if I select from a DATE or TIME (not datetime) column on a SQL Server 2008R2 database, inspecting the column headers returned in the RESULT SET tells me they are returned to the client as CHAR. These would be TDS 7.3 types, so if you are telling me you have 7.2 covered, that would explain this.
I could send sample programs and the like if necessary, but I'm really mostly trying to know what the library provides at this point. I've been testing on a Gentoo Linux client connecting to a v2008R2 SQL Server, and I'm switching between version 0.82 and the CVS head (as of sometime last week)
Thanks for your time,
John

I don't know that you're doing anything wrong, but what exactly are you
referring to?
I'd like to think 7.2 is already supported, has been for a long time.
Some things, in particular MARS, are missing and may well remain that way
indefinitely pending interest and effort.
