RE: bug in ODBC driver (and fix)

The ODBC driver I had problems with is found at:
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/latest/postdrv.exe

This is apparently revision v06-50-0000. I patched the sources to this
particular version. I just realized that there is a copy of the odbc driver
in the postgresql source tree. I'm going to try to compile that with visual
c++ 6.0 now.

<time warp>

Got it to compile correctly, however, it doesn't link correctly. It's gettin
some unresolved external symbols... by the looks of which look like its
targeted to the unix platform.

connection.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _htonl(at)4
socket.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _htonl(at)4

socket.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _recv(at)16
Debug/psqlodbc.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 14 unresolved externals

The file version for the odbc driver taken from the 7.1beta3 source tarball
says this is ODBC version v06-40-0009. I downloaded the equivalent
precompiled windows version from
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/versions/v06-40-0009/postsrc.zip but this
version DOES NOT have the int4out fix. Basically, none of the precompiled
windows versions have that fix. I patched the 6-50-0000 code to support
7.1beta3. If anyone on the list is interested, have them download and try
out that one.

There is apparently some fixes that aren't incrementing version numbers, and
also some versions that have the same number for windows and unix, they are
not the same source. Confusing!

Oh? I'm quite sure there is no reference to int4out in ODBC now.
Look for yourself if you don't believe me. That patch was applied
to the main branch back in August.

Are you sure you are using a driver built from the current ODBC sources,
and not 7.0.2 or earlier?

PRIMARY is an SQL reserved word.
