[erlang-questions] 12B4 ODBC bug

[Anthony Shipman]

Environment: Erlang 12B4, unixODBC 2.2.11, postgresql-odbc 08.01.0200

Refer to odbcserver.c, line 551 and following.

I ran an INSERT statement that violated a unique constraint. This resulted in
the result code -1 = SQL_NULL_DATA and an error message

[unixODBC]Error while executing the query (non-fatal);\nERROR:  duplicate key 
violates unique constraint \"tfleet_config_fleet_id_key\" SQLSTATE IS: 00000

The code tries to recognise the ERROR at the beginning of the message but 
fails since it is on line 2. The execution then ends up at line 585 where it 
tries to encode a normal result.  In encode_result() we get a fatal error at 
the DO_EXIT(EXIT_COLS); line. The Erlang code gets a connection_closed error.

Two fixes are needed. 

1. Look for ERROR using something like the gcc strcasestr() function. You may 
need to write your own for portability.

2. Handle the SQL_NULL_DATA  result. I don't know what this code is supposed 
to mean.
