Well this does not work either, remember i'm creating a view....

Let me give some background: I'm using the PostgreSQL as a datasource from
an application that only connects to MS-SQL.

So either I create a view in MS-SQL or I talk to a linked server in MS-SQL
directly.

But both don't work in the current version.

- In the linked server setup i need to supply a catalog (of which the driver
does not seem to support)
- In the view it also complains about the catalog that is not supplied...

Would it be strange to suggest that we use a 'dummy' catalog in the ODBC
driver for MS-SQL?

Best Regards,
  Thomas.
