Re: FreeTDS does not work with Sybase SQL Anywhere 10, 11 or 12 -- sp_datatype_info()

Last time I looked this was the only sp that was being used that did not exist in SQL Anywhere 10-12.  That's the issue -- the sp for SQLGetTypeInfo does not exist in SQL Anywhere so it needs to be replaced in FreeTDS -- i.e. FreeTDS needs to not be dependent on that sp in order for it to be used with SQL Anywhere.  Just need to find out what it does.

Otherwise, FreeTDS only works with Sybase ASE.  I would see this as a limitation to the product.

HTH and thanks for your efforts...

Hi,
  yesterday I tried to install a SQL Anywhere and see what's' the calls but it seems that ODBC version they use do not use TDS protocol but CMDSEQ (and also encrypted!).

So I where no able to understand where SQL Anywhere ODBC driver get the data for SQLGetTypeInfo.
