PostgreSQL version: 13.1
Operating system: Windows
Description:
I have installed psqlodbc_13_00_0000-x64 on my SQLServer machine. I then
created a DSN (without password) to my PostgreSQL server and enabled
logging. I have created a linked server in SSMS. When I do activities on the
linked server, I see the linked server password in plain text in the logs,
in PQconnectdbParams
