FreeTDS: db-lib: exiting because client error handler returned 0 for msgno 20009

Hi James, ikorot

Sorry to replay now, I've take some days-off :-)..

My applications is working fine now. What I did was just compile wiht
enable-msdblib=yes and change my code to use the freetds.conf file.

Thanks for the answers.

Ps. I have one more question. I have to bind a int64 (long) data, and
looking through the headers files, I can't find something like
"DBINT64".
I've looked at tds_sysdep_public.h file and i found this:

#define tds_sysdep_int64_type long

but in the sybdb.h file, there is no typedef for this, only

typedef tds_sysdep_int32_type DBINT;

So my question is: Can I put this typedef tds_sysdep_int64_type
DBINT64 in the sybdb.h? or use the SYBINT8 type??

Best regards,
Fernando

That's what FreeTDS does
if it was compiled with enable-msdblib=no (the default case).
