dblib, ct-lib, and ODBC all ride atop libtds. So they are all on equal
footing regarding access to those nuances. Sybase on the other hand, has
ODBC sit atop ct-lib which makes in rather inefficient.
This stuff has my head spinning... I tried to look into how dblib and
ctlib may handle multibyte character sets but didn't particularly turn up
anything. The Sybase International Developer's Guide was a little opaque
on the matter.
Definately post 0.52 material.
