Re: [Python-sybase-misc] Using new sybase features from python-sybase

[Sébastien S. <sa...@us...>]

Hi Zsolt,

a similar problem has recently been reported by someone else in the bug 
tracker at the following url:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2809032&group_id=184050&atid=907701

I will modify python-sybase in a coming version so that it supports all 
the functionalities of the Sybase version it is compiled with, by 
passing the maximum CS_VERSION_* value supported.

You can track this evolution in the bug tracker at the provided url.

regards

As far as I know these features have been added to sybase openclient 12.5 and above, but not working for us with the original python-sybase source code.

Specifying the contstant CS_VERSION_100 (which I think means 10.0) to them as python-sybase does  limits the package's functionality to 10.0 - disabling the new features coming with 12.5 or 15.0.
