I agree that posting a patch was a tad premature.

The purpose of the post(s) is to let people know that I am working on getting Class::DBI to work with Sybase. 

I have looked at (indeed I am using) Class::DBI::Sybase, but it seems that
the hooks needed to preserve case are not present. The guts of the problem lie in Class::DBI::Column, which C::D::S does not have access to.

I have encountered further problems with the lowercasing of column names, so my patch is not complete.

When I have everything working completely, I will include a test case.

Ivor.
