Sorry, another thing: Given that there is an existing ODBCConstants pool 
dictionary for the ODBCConnection class that is an actual Dictionary 
rather than a SharedPool, how would I go about refactoring this into a 
SharedPool given that I can't seem to find the actual class hierarchy of 
the ODBCConstants pool anywhere? I can get to the Dictionary by 
highlighting the name of it in the definition of ODBCConnection and 
inspecting it, but that's as far as I can go.

Cheers again,
S
