That's me out of ideas, then. I believe the driver
issues an empty query as part of the connection
routine to get a response back from the server, just
to test that someone is listening. In principle, if
that doesn't work, other queries wouldn't work either.
I don't remember whether you posted your odbc log (I
deleted the message), so please post it if you didn't
before: maybe someone can make something out of it.
