Thread: Corrupted data sent by Windows 98 client

I use ODBC driver to access PostgresSQL 8.1 servers from Windows 98 computer
frmm Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9 application.

In a number of client and servers, it is not possible to send data to
server.

PostgreSQL log file shows shows that garbage characters are received. Server
responds to this packet  with message

syntax error or at near ....

Server response is received correctly by client.

I tried with latest (Hiroshi) and previous (Unicode) version of Unicode ODBC
driver and the problem
exist in both driver versions.
I can reproduce this in my office if application is running from Windows XP
drive from network drive.
If I copy application to C: drive in Windows 98 computer, application runs
OK.


Server log is available at www.eetasoft.ee/baddata.zip

Any idea how to fix this ?

The unicode driver works with Windows 98 client, but not if the (same) client is on XP, (same driver)?

Unicode driver and same client works OK in Windows 2000 and in Windows XP

Same driver and same client does not work in Windows 98.
Postgres server log file shows that server receives garbage instead of
SELECT statement.
