Description:
------------
Returning a column as a LOB with PDO_MSSQL does not appear to return the column as a stream, as the documentation implies, it returns as a string, with a max size of 4096. Am I doing something wrong?

Failing that, is there any other way to fetch >4096 characters?

Reproduce code:
---------------
Assume article is a table containing id (int) and body (text) or (varchar(max))

<?php
$query = "SELECT body FROM article WHERE id = 1";
$statement = $database->prepare ($query);
$statement->execute (array ());

$statement->bindColumn (1, $id, PDO::PARAM_STR, 12);
$statement->bindColumn (2, $body, PDO::PARAM_LOB);

$statement->fetch (PDO::FETCH_BOUND);

var_dump ($body);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
stream(>4096)

Actual result:
--------------
string(4096) (truncated)

Changing the return type _will_ break existing scripts. I am for returning them as streams since this coincides with the dbreadtext DBLIB function to stream a text or image field may avoid consuming PHP memory on large objects. It also agrees with the PDO_PGSQL return type.
