Tamas, Thank you for the quick reply.
My code is reading a table, so I am trying to identify the SRID that was used when the table was created and the geometries were added to the table. How do I query the SRID from the geometry in the table? The MS SQL Server driver does this when it is reading the geometry_columns table, but when the driver is not using the geometry_columns table, it does not attempt to identify the SRID. I am trying to determine how I can do this myself.
