RE: Problem with data type conversions and FreeTDS

OK, I have discovered more. The function tds_get_null() seems to think
that the field containing the UID is null - when it isn't. SO in fact
the tds_convert function is never called on that value.

Why does tds_get_null think that the current row,column field is NULL
when it contains that {45535-HHKSJOD-3456} thing!?

Any ideas? Thanks!

Jim
