Hi,

You have a valid question but I think you're asking the question badly. I *think* you're trying to determine if you need to bind the parameters and specify the data types... if you're using DBD::Sybase, the answer would be no. Just bind the values normally.

DBD::Sybase uses the underlying Sybase API calls to handle ?-style placeholders. For select/insert/update/delete statements DBD::Sybase calls the ct_dynamic() family of Client Library functions, which gives DBD::Sybase data type information for each parameter to the query.

I mention DBD::Sybase, because Transact SQL is used in Sybase and Microsoft databases.
