I'm aware of this. What I'm trying to do is emulate this process on servers
which have not compiled with --enable_trans_sid. I thought that was pretty
clear, but perhaps not.
In the ideal world, enable_trans_sid would have been compiled, but I'm yet
to find many shared hosts where this has been done. And since shared
servers seem to be what my current client set are using, I'm looking at
emulating enable_trans_sid.
