No luck with the experimental driver either, 2 rows with text fields,
sizes: 80804 and 63456 bytes.
Default settings on ODBC+ driver (max length 8000 or so) result in:

After modifying max length, I get various errors such as catastrophic
failure, a serious error occurred while connecting to the provider,
provider not initialized, etc. I cant get anything to work on the ODBC
driver now. I will reboot the machine and try it again later this
evening.
