Re: [Pymssql-users] patch pymssql.py - Permits database queries that return no recordsets

[Jakub L. <jl...@gm...>]

I see,

I have back ported the freetds package from unstable and it seems to
work fine for me.

So in order to make everybody happy we would have to make it backwards
compatible
with previous versions of python and previous versions of freetds(the
version in sarge is quite old).
It seems like to much of hassle to make everybody happy, i guess we
just keep rocking with our homemade patches.
Maybe for the next release we just make sure we don't suddenly require
python 2.5/6 and newer freeteds. So that things can stabilize
somewhat.

 it would make sense to take out that requirement.
