Setting postgres_ext.h is meanless for the ODBC driver.
How can(Why should) the driver see the source file on your
server machine ? The current odbc driver only can handle
NAMEDATALEN=32 databases.
BTW can you compile the driver by youself ?
If so, change MAX_TABLE_LEN and MAX_COLUMN_NAME in
src/interfaces/odbc/psqlodbc.h and build the driver
by youself.
