Test case:
1. Create a DSN choosing 'PostgreSQL Unicode'
2. Call ODBC-function SQLColumns(...) for a column of data type 'text'.

Expected results as for e.g. version 09.03.04.00:
a) Option "Text As LongVarChar" NOT set => data type "SQL_WVARCHAR (-9)"
b) Option "Text As LongVarChar" set => data type "SQL_WLONGVARCHAR (-10)"

Newer psqlODBC versions (e.g. 09.06.04.00 / 09.06.04.10 / 09.06.05.00) always return data type "SQL_WVARCHAR (-9)" -
irrespectiveof the 'Text As LongVarChar' setting.
 

I know that technically text is varchar without a length limit, but our software has to differentiate between these two
datatypes.
 

Best regards,

Peter
