Re: "max" datatypes support of SQL Server 2005 for DBD-ODBC

There is no configuration that can be done at the DBD::Sybase level for the
BLK handling - if you are limited to 255 chars then it is most likely a
limitation of the BLK api implementation of FreeTDS.

In this case, the data itself is either small or NULL for the test
cases. And I believe I've loaded other columns (e.g., varchar(2000))
with more than 255. My thinking is maybe it's something about that
type -- much like you see issues with image, text, and Oracle CLOB
types sometimes in different areas.

I'll post back once I run tests ... it may not even be that. Here's
the error I get back from the driver:

DBD::Sybase::db commit failed: Server message number=4815 severity=17
state=1 line=1 server=NEXDB\DEV text=Received an invalid column length
from the bcp client for colid 6.OpenClient message: LAYER = (2)

I'll throw the wrench in now: I'm using the DBD::Sybase bulk copy
interface as well. That's working great but I'm getting a failure
on a table that has a varchar(max) column. I haven't isolated it to
that yet -- I'm going to test with and without that. In the meantime,
if you have any knowledge to bestow on me regarding varchar(max) and
bulk copies, let me know.

This is a RH Linux environment, FreeTDS drivers. Perl 5.8.7,
DBD::Sybase 1.07. Target database is MS SQL Server 9.0.2047.

Bulk loading rocks by the way Michael. ;-)

I had a need to support [n]varchar(max) and varbinary(max) datatypes of
MS SQL Server 2005, and patched DBD-ODBC.
Below is the diff from the current svn.
Does anyone know what, if any, support for these DBD::Sybase has?
