+=head1 NAME
+
+DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase - Sybase support for DBIx::Class
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+This subclass supports L<DBD::Sybase> for real Sybase databases.  If you are
+using an MSSQL database via L<DBD::Sybase>, your storage will be reblessed to
+L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::Microsoft_SQL_Server>.
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+If your version of Sybase does not support placeholders, then your storage
+will be reblessed to L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::NoBindVars>. You can
+also enable that driver explicitly, see the documentation for more details.
+
+With this driver there is unfortunately no way to get the C<last_insert_id>
+without doing a C<SELECT MAX(col)>. This is done safely in a transaction
+(locking the table.) See L</INSERTS WITH PLACEHOLDERS>.
+
+A recommended L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI/connect_info> setting:
+
+  on_connect_call => [['datetime_setup'], ['blob_setup', log_on_update => 0]]

-=head1 NAME
+=head1 Schema::Loader Support
 
-DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase - Storage::DBI subclass for Sybase
+There is an experimental branch of L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader> that will
+allow you to dump a schema from most (if not all) versions of Sybase.
 
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
+It is available via subversion from:
+
+  http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/branches/DBIx-Class-Schema-Loader/current/
+
+=head1 FreeTDS
+
+This driver supports L<DBD::Sybase> compiled against FreeTDS
+(L<http://www.freetds.org/>) to the best of our ability, however it is
+recommended that you recompile L<DBD::Sybase> against the Sybase Open Client
+libraries. They are a part of the Sybase ASE distribution:
+
+The Open Client FAQ is here:
+L<http://www.isug.com/Sybase_FAQ/ASE/section7.html>.
+
+Sybase ASE for Linux (which comes with the Open Client libraries) may be
+downloaded here: L<http://response.sybase.com/forms/ASE_Linux_Download>.
+
+To see if you're using FreeTDS check C<< $schema->storage->using_freetds >>, or run:
+
+  perl -MDBI -le 'my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $pass); print $dbh->{syb_oc_version}'
+
+Some versions of the libraries involved will not support placeholders, in which
+case the storage will be reblessed to
+L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::NoBindVars>.
+
+In some configurations, placeholders will work but will throw implicit type
+conversion errors for anything that's not expecting a string. In such a case,
+the C<auto_cast> option from L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::AutoCast> is
+automatically set, which you may enable on connection with
+L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::AutoCast/connect_call_set_auto_cast>. The type info
+for the C<CAST>s is taken from the L<DBIx::Class::ResultSource/data_type>
+definitions in your Result classes, and are mapped to a Sybase type (if it isn't
+already) using a mapping based on L<SQL::Translator>.
+
+In other configurations, placeholers will work just as they do with the Sybase
+Open Client libraries.
+
+Inserts or updates of TEXT/IMAGE columns will B<NOT> work with FreeTDS.
+
+=head1 INSERTS WITH PLACEHOLDERS
+
+With placeholders enabled, inserts are done in a transaction so that there are
+no concurrency issues with getting the inserted identity value using
+C<SELECT MAX(col)>, which is the only way to get the C<IDENTITY> value in this
+mode.
+
+In addition, they are done on a separate connection so that it's possible to
+have active cursors when doing an insert.
+
+When using C<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::NoBindVars> transactions are
+disabled, as there are no concurrency issues with C<SELECT @@IDENTITY> as it's a
+session variable.
+
+=head1 TRANSACTIONS
+
+Due to limitations of the TDS protocol, L<DBD::Sybase>, or both; you cannot
+begin a transaction while there are active cursors. An active cursor is, for
+example, a L<ResultSet|DBIx::Class::ResultSet> that has been executed using
+C<next> or C<first> but has not been exhausted or
+L<reset|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/reset>.
+
+For example, this will not work:
+
+  $schema->txn_do(sub {
+    my $rs = $schema->resultset('Book');
+    while (my $row = $rs->next) {
+      $schema->resultset('MetaData')->create({
+        book_id => $row->id,
+        ...
+      });
+    }
+  });
+
+Transactions done for inserts in C<AutoCommit> mode when placeholders are in use
+are not affected, as they are done on an extra database handle.
+
+Some workarounds:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * use L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated>
+
+=item * L<connect|DBIx::Class::Schema/connect> another L<Schema|DBIx::Class::Schema>
+
+=item * load the data from your cursor with L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/all>
+

+
+=head1 MAXIMUM CONNECTIONS
+
+The TDS protocol makes separate connections to the server for active statements
+in the background. By default the number of such connections is limited to 25,
+on both the client side and the server side.
+
+This is a bit too low for a complex L<DBIx::Class> application, so on connection
+the client side setting is set to C<256> (see L<DBD::Sybase/maxConnect>.) You
+can override it to whatever setting you like in the DSN.
+
+See
+L<http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.help.ase_15.0.sag1/html/sag1/sag1272.htm>
+for information on changing the setting on the server side.
+
+=head1 DATES
+
+See L</connect_call_datetime_setup> to setup date formats
+for L<DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime>.
+
+=head1 TEXT/IMAGE COLUMNS
+
+L<DBD::Sybase> compiled with FreeTDS will B<NOT> allow you to insert or update
+C<TEXT/IMAGE> columns.
+
+Setting C<< $dbh->{LongReadLen} >> will also not work with FreeTDS use either:
+
+  $schema->storage->dbh->do("SET TEXTSIZE $bytes");
 
-This subclass supports L<DBD::Sybase> for real Sybase databases.  If
-you are using an MSSQL database via L<DBD::Sybase>, see
-L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::MSSQL>.
+or
 
-=head1 CAVEATS
+  $schema->storage->set_textsize($bytes);
 
-This storage driver uses L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::NoBindVars> as a base.
-This means that bind variables will be interpolated (properly quoted of course)
-into the SQL query itself, without using bind placeholders.
+instead.
 
-More importantly this means that caching of prepared statements is explicitly
-disabled, as the interpolation renders it useless.
+However, the C<LongReadLen> you pass in
+L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI/connect_info> is used to execute the equivalent
+C<SET TEXTSIZE> command on connection.

+setting you need to work with C<IMAGE> columns.
