hmmm interesting. how much is the limit?

i used PHP's mssql_* functions and while i only used about 20 chars on a
character search string in the WHERE, i found them to be as simple as
the mysql_* functions...

There's a limit of 30 characters for column names, but only if you
connect to your mssql server from windows (more info on
http://hu2.php.net/mssql).
