I know that Sybase and MS SQL Server support affected row counts, so why does the FreeTDS connection return -1's for affected rows?

Before version 0.53, calling the FreeTDS function to get the number of affected rows would cause a segmentation fault. As of version 0.32, SQL Relay figures out what version of FreeTDS is installed at compile time and only enables affected rows if the FreeTDS version is greater than 0.52. If you compile against an earlier version of FreeTDS, a -1 is returned for affected rows as if the database didn't support the feature.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
