<pre wrap=""> Don't panic :) -3 is the ODBC API constant for a null-terminated string
(SQL_NTS) - so it's perfectly valid - it just makes the driver manager
(and/or driver) read the string values being sent up until the first null
terminator character (and for the record I did check in gdb that all the
strings had the required null termination character - they all did). I did
wonder whether I should explain that when I posted, and forgot to mention
it. Ahem. I did try the call with a fixed-length description as well (ie
putting the real lengths in instead of using the SQL_NTS constant) but it
made no difference.

<pre wrap=""><!---->Ok. Should've remembered that (I wrote these damn drivers for a
living) but luckily I seem to have forgotten most of that awful stuff
:).
So much for the simple explanation :)

Heh, how I wish it was that: but I think I've eliminated every simple
explanation. I'm still hopeful that I've missed something simple
though, to prevent a complicated solution ;)<br>
