NOTE that the DB library that is internally driving these functions will NOT return more than 256
characters for data types varchar are char. After SQL Server 7 they allowed for lengths of up to
8000, but never updated the library. This drove me crazy for a day (all other connectivity worked
from Java and C#, just not PHP). So, switch your data type to text if you wish to have lengths more
than 256 characters.
I believe this is not techinically considered a bug; I checked the bug reports section and all
reports on this issue were closed with a message indicating this.
