OCaml-FreeTDS is a binding to the ct-lib component of the FreeTDS library, for accessing Sybase and Microsoft (or other TDS) database servers.

If you don't know what "ct-lib" means then you should probably not be using this, but rather OCamlDBI ; a more general and simple database layer, for which OCaml-FreeTDS bindings exist.

Here are some key features of "OCaml FreeTDS":
ct-lib binding
ocamldbi interface (should be in the ocamldbi package)
Examples provided for each in the distribution

What's New in This Release:
This version fixes the configure script so anyone with FreeTDS in a funny place, or the real Sybase libs, can adjust their paths appropriately. It is known to build against the Sybase libs, and FreeTDS 0.6.1 and above. Support for old FreeTDS is not something I think is valuable, since it is free to upgrade.
However... The Sybase libs cause a segfault, probably because of some value specific to FreeTDS that I use, but since I don't have them I can't find out! Any testing by others would be greatly appreciated.
