ODBC parameter binding - Mailing list pgsql-interfaces

we are having problems getting the *nix ODBC driver (that came as part of the postgresql bundle) to bind values to the
parameters
given in the query.

looking through the log file, and the code, it appears that the driver has no idea what the database type the column
shouldbe.  are
 
there any special tables that the db requires in order to do this -- i poked around a little but didn't find any
instructionson any
 
data prep work, that is required to allow full ODBC functionality.

my statement to be parsed is "select * from routes where name = ?"

the driver correctly determines the input type (cType) to be SQL_CHAR, but has no idea what the database type (sqlType)
shouldbe.
 
as such, the code assumes that it is either a NUMERIC or BIT field, and finally resolves the statement as: "select *
fromroutes
 
where name = foo".  this of course is wrong and fails because the single quotes are missing from around 'foo'.

my only guess is that my database needs to prepped.  any other ideas??

here is the log file output in question.
