Re: Are unittests expected to fail?

Thanks Bill,

Actually, my config was wrong and I was inadvertently using the
default 4.2 version (SYBASE) against an SQL Server database.
Doh!

So with 7.0 in place - I get 0 TDS failures.

As for ODBC failures, that's another matter, but I'll reply to
Freddy on that shortly.

Thanks again for wasting some time on me :-)

Cheers,

David
