I should point out that there are serious problems with sybase - its
protocol format doesn't allow more than one active statement handle at
once, which sort of sucks. Justdave is running without locks ATM, and
when he turns those on, he'll get a deadlock when logging in. Not to
mention that its totally non-transaction safe, since DBD::Sybase spawns
a separate connection, which of course runs in a totaly differnt
transaction.
