Hi, I just found this freedts thingy, and i read through the FAQ which states that MARS is not supported, and some reason why so. However, a bit further down, there is a passus that suggests it _might_ be supported in the future? So my question is if there are any plans to do so? Reason I ask is that I work on a system, that was developed many years ago (1990-ish) and that is uses the concept of opening a cursor, looping through the recordset, and use some of those values retrieved to update other tables within that loop. It was developed on Mimer, then ported to Oracle. Last year, I ported it to MS sql-server, and boom/bang/crash, the mars feature came up. I had not heard of dbs not supporting it before, so I was a bit surprised. Now, I found this Raspberri Pi system <http://www.raspberrypi.org> based on Arm and debian. I thought it would be nice to show scalability by porting the system to this device. There's no Oracle client libs for arm, so I was very happy to see freetds. But a bit sad when this mars-thingy showed up. -- /Björn
