Problem with special characters in password when using SQLDriverConnect

Hello,
 
if you use SQLDriverConnect instead of SQLConnect the connection fails on special characters like ';', '(', ')' and '+'(?) within the password.
 
According to the documentation ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms715433%28v=vs.85%29.aspx ) []{}(),;?*=!@  are special characters.
 
In order to pass the connection string to the driver intact you have to bracket the whole connection string ( or just the values ? - it looks like my English is not good enough for this article ).
 
There already had been a patch in 09.00.0100 but this problem obviously persists in psqlODBC 09.01.0100 Unicode. Maybe this has been patched in the ANSI version only?

Backslashes are still a problem? I wonder whether standard_conforming_strings has an effect on embedded backslashes.
 
Could you check, please?
 
Thank you very much,
 
Peter
