Re: [BUG] Unicode ODBC Driver is broken

Hi Sven,

We are runing all 7.5.0.8 on our systms and I've been seeing similar problems. what is also odd is that the 'rejected bad connect packet'
sounds aweful similar to an error I was seeing with DBMCLI / SQLCLI - and these don't even use the ODBC?

In production we have: Win2k 7.5.0.8 odbc drivers talking to a win2k 7.5.0.8 MaxDB server. Same OS, two different machines. We have a
unicode database and use the unicode driver. No such problems. the ODBC driver I put on the 'client system' I did by running MaxDB 7.5.0.8
server setup and choosing to only install the ODBC driver. In other words, I did not download the stand-alone ODBC driver - as I have found
them to be out of date in the past :)

However... I am working on my much list-referenced Sun Solaris 8 system. The Solaris system is also running 7.5.0.8 with a copy of the same
(unicode database) that I loaded from the production Win2K system. I am using a Windows XP client to do my SQL queries... I have been
encountering many unexplained connect / driver failures. Furthermore, I often find that rebooting the client (Windows XP) machine sometimes
fixes it, sometimes stop / start of the Solaris xserver helps. I haven't had time to experiment a lot with it as I'm trying to get work done and
not spend all my days testing MaxDB :)

Not sure if this information is of use. Your errors and probems sound very similar. Hard to draw conclusions, maybe the Unix xserver has a
problem that puts the Windows Unicode driver in some fouled state?
