ODBC connection fails

[Vlad Dumitrescu]

Hi again,

What misguided me was the following statement (my emphasis)

> "Alas some drivers only support sequential traversal of the result

Maybe it's only my bad English, but "may" implies that it also "may not".

> So you can't say it was not documented ;)

No, I didn't say that, only that the way I interpreted the docs hinted that
it "might" work.

Thanks again, and now I know that I can use odbc:next without first calling
odbc:first (which wasn't obvious to me, but reading the documentation very
carefully, one can deduce it)
