Hi, I feel that this is still an issue that needs to be addressed with a package addition. The php5-sybase package is not sufficient as it is meant to handle sybase and not Microsoft SQL Server databases. When using php5-sybase to query ntext data (unicode text) Microsoft SQL Server 2000 says:

It's such a shame that it's taken this long to elicit an explanation from the packaging team, instead of just "php5-sybase provides php5-mssql now". Obviously if php5-sybase provides true MSSQL support as well as Sybase support then this bug is not valid (any more). There are people here who know

Ok, I say it once again. What is contents of your php5-sybase package? There is MSSQL.SO - so I would understand a bug asking for building separate SYBASE extension. In debian/patches/119-sybase-alias.patch we aliased SYBASE functions to MSSQL in EXT/MSSQL/PHP_MSSQL.C and php5 is built with (see

Why are you guys so reluctant to make such a small change to include better MS SQL Server support? Can you imagine the (correct, IMO) response from the PHP guys to a request to add better MSSQL support to the Sybase extension? I bet it would be "No, the functionality is already there in the MSSQL
