Hi:

I'm a developer for MySQL Workbench. We support FreeTDS to communicate 
with MS SQL Server and Sybase ASE in our Migration Wizard.

When dealing with a bug in our codebase 
(http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=68084) we realized that the return 
value that we get when requesting the SQL_DESC_UNSIGNED attribute via 
the SQLColAttribute function for a SQL Server TINYINT column differs 
from what one would expect (SQL_TRUE). Microsoft's drivers return the 
correct value (TINYINT is by definition unsigned in T-SQL).

Is this a bug in FreeTDS? Can you comment on this?

Regards,
