RE: Problem with data type conversions and FreeTDS

Yes, like I said I am using FreeTDS.tar.gz 0.61 which was compiled to
use 8.0 as the protocol version - and this is what I use when I
establish a connection. So is my code (as far as TDS is concerned)
correct? This is starting to get a little frustrating! Could I cast the
field value to a TDS_UNIQUE structure? Or is this what tds_convert
should be doing?

Thanks

Jim
