I’m reviving this year-old thread because this is still a problem and getting to be a bigger one, and while it isn’t FreeTDS’s fault, it is FreeTDS’s problem if its test suite can’t even run to completion on 3 of the 4 currently-supported versions of Microsoft’s server (SQL 2005 went out of support a week or two ago, so SQL 2008 is the only one that can run the test suite).

The following tests are the ones affected:

src/ctlib/unittests/t0009
src/dblib/unittests/t0023
src/dblib/unittests/dbmorecmds

I tried (unsuccessfully) to come up with a way to skip the tests when running on SQL 2012 or greater.  The following check tells you what you’ve got, but only at run time, which is too late.  The ‘compute’ keyword will still be seen at parse time so the script will already fail before this check runs.  Plus it uses Microsoft-specific functions that will probably not parse on Sybase.

IF CHARINDEX('Microsoft', @@VERSION) <> 0
BEGIN
    IF CAST(PARSENAME(CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('PRODUCTVERSION') AS VARCHAR), 4) AS INT) >= 11
    BEGIN
        PRINT 'SKIP - SQL 2012 or greater'
    END
END

Not sure what to suggest.  Anybody have a good way forward?
