Around 4-5 years ago was the last time i needed to talk to SQL server.
FWIW, i was a big fan of binding DBD::Sybase to freetds. It allowed
Windows Authentication (DOMAIN\username) or SQL Server authentication
(sa) and provided a UCS2 to UTF-8 bridge for unicode.
It also allowed connecting to SQL Server instances by instance name as
well as directly to a TCP port.
I never got parameter binding to work, but worked around it.
Cheers
