Are you using an up-to-date ODBC driver?  It looks like the one you have
is not aware of the attisdropped column in pg_attribute ...

I looked at the psqlodbc CVS logs, and this was claimed to be fixed on 6
Dec --- but apparently there hasn't been a release put out since 29 Nov.
I'd suggest pestering the ODBC guys for a new release (pgsql-odbc
mailing list is probably a good place).  Or pull the CVS-tip sources and
build it yourself.
