ODBC and Oracle

Oracle is one of the databases that we test agains in our automated
test environment. The problem is probably that you have a 2.X driver.
It seems however that you can workaround this by disabling scrollable
cursors.
>From ODBC's User Guide:
1.4 About the Erlang ODBC application
Provides an Erlang interface to communicate with relational
SQL-databases. It is built on top of Microsofts ODBC interface and
therefore requires that you have an ODBC driver to the database that
you want to connect to. The Erlang ODBC application is designed using
the version 3.0 of the ODBC-standard, however using the option
{scrollable_cursors, off} for a connection has been known to make it
work for at least some 2.X drivers.
