Further to my e-mail below, I have tried the same thing on a production
database running a different version of Linux / Postgres. I have tried
this on two separate clients NT and XP and they all have the same
problem! Should I start shopping around for a different ODBC driver?
Can anyone shed some light on this, surely my set up is pretty
standard???
Thanks again,
Graham

So should all the data types be 50+1 bytes, I don't know much about this
sort of thing and really need to get this going. Are there any docs,
resources anyone knows about where I can try and locate the issue. Is it
likely to be a driver problem, postgreSQL, NT problem. Where do I
start????
Please heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp.
Thanks again
Graham

Judging from the log, your program is binding a (80+1) byte buffer for
the "description" text field. I don't understand where the 80(or 81)
come from. OTOH your program seems to be binding the "name" field with a
right(50+1 byte) sized buffer.
