Re: Efficient way to access MS SQL server

Using the mssql extension based on Microsofts library (ntwdblib.dll) will have limitations like column length 30 bytes and character columns has a max length of 255 bytes. If you use the same extension based on the FreeTDS version of the dblib library these limitations goes away. Even on Windows platforms. - Frank > There's a limit of 30 characters for column names, but only if you > connect to your mssql server from windows (more info on > http://hu2.php.net/mssql). > > > The native SQL driver for PHP has a problem with a limit on the number > > of characters in a string, so can't use that. > I'm not sure what Charly means by this though... > > Evert > > -- > PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >
