I know that you have problems at your site with ODBC. However,
the problem does not seem to be easily reproducable since
you never send me some standalone code to reproduce it in
my environment.
All what you reported (into the list and directly to me)
let me think that the reason for that
is the driver. And I can assure you that I investigated a
considerable amount of time to find the cause for that.
Until now the problem apparently remains, what I regret.
But without being able to reproduce problems, it's not so
easy to find solutions.
I can understand that you might be somewhat frustrated but
I hope you exaggerated a little bit.

It's good to see that some business is growing around
our DB :-)
