Thread: libpq odbc: unrecognized return value from copy_and_convert_field

Tried to hook up excel via the new odbc driver and got the above error.
It happens immediately after opening the dsn in data->Import External
Data->New Database Query.

logfile is attatched.

On a positive note we have an in house vb app that makes a few odbc
calls and it runs flawlessly.

It is interesting to note that I tried adding mylog("entering
copy_and_convert_field\n") call to very first line in
copy_and_convert_field function as well as all the failure points.
Nothing shows up in the log.

Confirmed.

Hmm, not much in that one. Mine might be more useful.

Great. Looks quite good on one of my apps. I did get it to crash but
have yet to reproduce the problem - I'll keep trying :-)
