Some months ago I patched a sybase module that I found, sufficently to satisfy my needs. I haven't got the code here though. I fixed some bugs, added support for Dates and NULL columns, but never considered cursors. It sure ain't meant for the mainstream, but mail me if you want it, and I'll try and dig it up.

If sybase returns a error, a tuple is build and an exception is raised. Please review my changes, this is only my third module and I am still working on symatics. I posted a message to the news group about my changes, and received several requests to e-mail my source to them??? I did'nt! someone needs to handle the source - why have several copies running around. Thanks! Thomas Palmer Sr. Sybase DBA/Systems Programmer. .
