in reply to Re^4: DBI::Sybase -retrieving BLOB values from ms-sql question
in thread DBI::Sybase -retrieving BLOB values from ms-sql question

The limitation that is referred to here is for char/varchar data, not for blobs. DBD::Sybase has always supported the full blob size (2GB) either via the longReadLen attribute, or via the "set textsize" T-SQL command.

Also note that the documentation that you are referring to is primarily aimed at DBD::Sybase built with the Sybase OpenClient libraries. You are using it with FreeTDS, which means that some of the behavior is different, and you should refer to the FreeTDS documentation for additional information.
