That this has been fixed in the ANSI version only was just an assumption on my side, because the sudden increase of the 'known critical' characters seemed to be connected to the switch to the Unicode version of psqlODBC.
It looks like the Unicode and the ANSI version use the 'same' internal functions though?

Thank you very much for the patch!

We tested several passwords in connection with the SQLDriverConnect function and the Unicode version of psqlODBC:

password: %2 (two chars!)
submitted as:
…;UID=user;PWD=%2; fails
…;UID=user;PWD={%2}; works

password: %25 (three chars!)
…;UID=user;PWD=%25; fails
…;UID=user;PWD={%25}; works

password: }{
…;UID=user;PWD={}{}; fails

password: abc
…;UID=user;PWD=abc; works (as expected)
…;UID=user;PWD={abc}; works

Password: a;bc
…;UID=user;PWD=a;bc; fails (as expected)
…;UID=user;PWD={a;bc}; works

Best regards,
