Well that does put it in another light. If you look at the
documentation you will see that Erlang ODBC is designed using odbc 3.0
specification and does not claim to work with 2.x drivers. If your
workaround will make it work for 2.x drivers, it is, as you say, up to
the user if they will like to apply the patch. After all Erlang is
open source. I just think you should be aware of what you are doing. I
do agree that probably your patch is pretty harmless but in principal
it is the wrong thing to do. Are there not any 3.0 compliant drivers
for PostgressSQL?
