Thanks Michael. I have a sybase.py passing *some* unit tests with both pyodbc and the Sybase driver, both running on Solaris 10 x86 against ASE 15. This is a hack that seems to work for the Sybase DBAPI module. I do have access to lots and lots of different Sybase stuff so I will start from your patched version and reintegrate my schema introspection and other stuff. Do you have a ticket open for the sybase driver yet? Where should I send the patches?
