ksqo was a hack that disappeared several releases back. I do not know
why ODBC still has a reference to it (or why it tried to force it on
in the first place; IMHO a driver has no business making that kind of
decision).
I would recommend removing both of those SETs from the driver code.

The backend won't spend much time on a blank statement, but if a
separate network round trip is being incurred for each one, that could
get a tad expensive ...
