You may want to file a new bug report for this (and refer to this one here, if
useful).
I don't know about details (i.e. I cannot help you), sorry.

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
Strange attitude, Ondřej. We're all just trying to make the product
better so let's work together and be civil to each other.
Please let me know if any of the following facts are incorrect - it may
be that me (and others) are misunderstanding. PHP's mssql and sybase
libraries are different. As
Invalid since php5-sybase switched to mssql extension since 5.2.4-1.

What is really ridiculous is that you complain just about package NAME.
Have you really checked contents of php5-sybase package?

even if this bug is seen as a rant by some "official" people involved,
nobody ever gave a reason on why this _packaging_ issue seems so hard to
fix.
RedHat, SuSE, Mandriva, ... to name but a few other major distributions
all seem to be able to package php-mssql but obviously it seems to be
imp
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
I disagree. The php5 team has already done the work to have full
support within the mssql.so extension. Including the real php5-mssql
package would be a very small change to incorporate that work. This is
a packaging issue, not a PHP issue.

No, what you need to add required functionality to php5-sybase. Both
extensions use SAME freetds library. It's just matter of "bug" or "lack
of feature" in sybase extension. Feel free to aproach php team to fix
these defici
It's been a while since I've been working with MSSQL, which is why I'm
only just revisiting this bug.
The Sybase (DBLIB) drivers do not provide all the functionality needed
when using a Microsoft SQL Server DB. For example, using this driver
with PDO reports that transactions and stored procedures
