Re: ODBC and encodings problem

Hi,

I have noticed a strange bug starting with version 7.03.0209 too.

I use version 7.03.0208 all the time, and it works fine for me, on NT, 2000 and XP. I suggest you use this version
too...

I've looked at the mylog outputs from pgODBC in this case and they seem to show the driver (at some point) returns the
correctvalues.  How these are then translated and shown in MS Access is beyond me.  I'll keep investigating though. 

[investigated some more]I just tried pgODBC 7.03.0208 and I get the correct result.  Seems it's another bug that's been
introducedafter this time.  
I'll look to see which version is the earliest to cause this problem.
