Username and password from DSN being overwritten (fix included) - Mailing list pgsql-odbc

Hi all,

I ran into a problem recently trying to use the latest CVS version of the ODBC driver with Business Objects XI Release 2. The username and password specified for a connection in the ODBC setup panel were being ignored by the driver. I discovered that after some recent changes to the make_string() function in misc.c, the DSN defaults were always being overwritten by whatever username and password were passed to PGAPI_Connect(), even if they were empty strings.

Below is a (very small) patch to connection.c to work around the issue.

Thanks,

Rick Hair
