Issue with ALTER Table. - Mailing list pgsql-odbc

The Catalog Schema seems not to be actualized when using ALTER Table.

I had reported a problem with adding NEW tables, which was corrected by
Hiroshi

When "altering" a Datatype of column the problem still exists:
Say, we have a column which is defined as varchar(40)
Now we want to double the field length to varchar(80)

  ALTER TABLE customer
     ALTER COLUMN address TYPE varchar(80),

When we retrieving the Catalog-Info the value of field length is 40
furthermore.

After a new connect we get the correct values and only after that writing /
reading to the altered field is working reliable.

Has someone found a another workaround, idea, hint preventing a reconnect?

regards,

BGoebel
