Tedious is an implementation of the TDS protocol, which is used to interact with instances of Microsoft's SQL Server.

Tedious is simply derived from a fast, slightly garbled, pronunciation of the letters T, D and S.

Current version: v0.0.6

Although subject to change, this is the rough plan for the next few versions.

• some support for TDS 7.1
• transaction management

• support for more data types for parameters
• support for varchar(max), nvarchar(max) and varbinary(max) as streams

• secure connections

• decoding of column metadata flags
• full decoding of collation data
• ability to cancel a request
