ODBC application error

[Ingela Anderton]

Without investigating this further I would just like to clarify one
thing. The Erlang odbc application is not a driver it is 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.

This query is sent directly to your odbc-driver without alterations.
The driver returns an error which is reflected in erlang by 
{error,"No SQL-driver information available."}
and unfortunately there is no information available in the driver
to help us understand why it failed.
