+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
+conversion errors for anything that's not expecting a string. In such a case,
+the C<auto_cast> option is automatically set, which you may enable yourself with
+L</connect_call_set_auto_cast> (see the description of that method for more
+details.)
+
+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.
