+=head1 NAME
+
+DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::Common - Common functionality for drivers using
+DBD::Sybase
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This is the base class for L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase> and
+L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::Microsoft_SQL_Server>. It provides some
+utility methods related to L<DBD::Sybase> and the supported functions of the
+database you are connecting to.

+# XXX if the main connection goes stale, does opening another for this statement
+# really determine anything?

+=head2 using_freetds
+
+Whether or not L<DBD::Sybase> was compiled against FreeTDS. If false, it means
+the Sybase OpenClient libraries were used.
+

+
+sub using_freetds {
+ my $self = shift;
+
+ return $self->_get_dbh->{syb_oc_version} =~ /freetds/i;
+}
+
+=head2 set_textsize
+
+When using FreeTDS and/or MSSQL, C<< $dbh->{LongReadLen} >> is not available,
+use this function instead. It does:
+
+ $dbh->do("SET TEXTSIZE $bytes");
+
+Takes the number of bytes, or uses the C<LongReadLen> value from your
+L<DBIx::Class/connect_info> if omitted, lastly falls back to the C<32768> which
+is the L<DBD::Sybase> default.
