What has been done?
The dblib CLI (call level interface) is fairly usable, with a number of applications compiling and running on it. The ctlib CLI is progressing nicely with serveral notable applications running. The OBDC CLI is the newest, and pretty much runs only for a simple test case currently. It is really only a flushed in skeleton and needs someone to run with it.

The following is a partial list of programs known to run.
  • SQSH 1.4
  • SQSH 1.7 (ctlib version, now works better than sqsh 1.4)
  • Sybperl 2.10
  • DBD::Sybase 0.19 (runs simple queries...needs some work)
  • PHP 3.0.x
  • Sybtcl ?

If you have any others to add to the list (working or not), please let me know.

Server side portions of the code can now accept connections and return results. Of course this requires a server application to have it's own parser to understand what the client is requesting, but it can be used for TDS access to non-relational data for example.

 
What needs to be done?
Almost everything :)

On the technical side, there are many dblib and ctlib functions which are just stubs. RPC and BCP are non-existent. The basics for ODBC are laid out, but it needs a maintainer.
