Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

MAC OSX copy_and_convert_field bug for SQL_W_CHAR: msg#00096

db.postgresql.odbc

Subject: MAC OSX copy_and_convert_field bug for SQL_W_CHAR

I am currently using Postgre 8.0 with the 8.00.0102 ODBC driver with IODBC
3.52.2. I can not get SQLGetData to return any valid data when the Ctype is
SQL_W_CHAR (SQL_C_CHAR workds fine). At line 887 of convert.c (for (i = 0,
j =0; ptr[i]; i++)) I believe I found a bug dealing with the byte order of a
Mac. The variable pre is point to the following data:

0xb015f0: 0x0000 0x0039 0x0000 0x0039 0x0000 0x0039 0x0000
0x0039

Basicaly "9999" in 2 byte unicode (Note that Macs are 4 byte unicode).
Since ptr is a const char* it never goes into the for statement to copy the
data. This is the case for numeric fields in the database I can only assume
character fields have a similiar issue. Has any one else seen this problem?
