Problem with backend prepare usin

Hi,
I've been trying to get my app to work using the server side prepare option
in the odbc driver.
I't dies on the first query - with SQLSTATE=07009 - Invalid column number in
DescribeCol. [Native Error=13]]
The query being issued is :-
'select current_user as x, current_timestamp as y, current_database() as z'.
The logs from the server look good :-
2003-05-24 23:15:06 [1541] LOG: query: BEGIN;PREPARE _PLAN1202048 as select
urrent_user as x, current_timestamp as y, current_database() as z;EXECUTE _PLAN
202048
2003-05-24 23:15:06 [1541] LOG: duration: 0.009996 sec
2003-05-24 23:15:06 [1541] LOG: query: COMMIT
2003-05-24 23:15:06 [1541] LOG: duration: 0.001244 sec

Has anyone tried this? got it to work?
Is it really part of this release (compiled from source current from the cvs as
at 2003-05-24)? or should I just ignore it for now?

Regards,
Wayne
