Hi Monkers,
I have use the DBD::Sybase one year or so. That's nice to work to connect SqlServer.
But recently, i came across a strange garbage issues. pls help me to check.

I wanna insert a Asian characters' html content into SqlServer ,
if i do it like this, it work nicely. 

$some_content = 'so long Asian character (maybe it contain single quot
+ation)';
$sql = "insert into test_table(field) values ($dbh->quote($some_conten
+t))";
$dbh->do($sql); # you know, this works.

But if i do it by another way, i get some garbage character in test_table: 
$some_content = $dbh->quote('so long Asia character (maybe it contain 
+single quotation)');
$sth = $dbh->prepare("insert into test_table(field) values (?)");
$sth->execute($some_content);
$sth->finish();

What's wrong with the second method? Or it is a $dbh->quote bug in Asian character?
Thanks in advance!
