#65 Sybase 12.52 test suite

[Mike Hutchinson]

The attached patch is version of the standard testcase
revised to test either Sybase 12.52 (with 8K pages) or
SQL Server 2000. Some of the changes are minor and are
probably worth incorporating in the standard test suite
but most of the tests have required significant changes
and the resulting code is not pretty.

There are two key areas of incompatibility between the
two families of servers:

1. Sybase does not support temporary stored procedures
   and many of the tests make extensive use of these.
2. There are differences between the datatypes
   supported for example univarchar on Sybase versus
   nvarchar on SQL Server.

In the long term the answer is to redesign to tests to
factor out the server specific tests leaving the
majority of the test code in common between the
servers. This is a non trivial task given the number of
tests!

Sybase test case

The attached version of the test missed nearly 8 years of development and is not too useful, anymore. The whole jTDS test suite has to be redesigned anyway to better support all features available in different server families and versions.
