ODBC application error

    I understand that, and of course we do have an underlying ODBC
driver. We use unixodbc debian package, to be precise, which also
provides the isql tool we used to test that the driver works perfectly.

    Of course it is not my intention to call into question your words,
but if that is the case, I just can not understand why using the isql
tool the DELETE statement performs correctly and returns just
"SQLRowCount returns 0", as it does after a simply empty-result SQL
SELECT statement, but fails using Erlang ODBC application...
