Re: packet libmyodbc broken in SID?

[Tim Ruehsen <tim.ruehsen@gmx.de>]

Thanks Kevin,

i am aware of the pitfalls introduced by SID. But all I was looking for was 
information. I think it is a good idea to ask the mailing list before I file 
a bug. E.g. sometimes someone knows that there is a workaround, which might 
be helpful when filing a report. Or someone just knows more about the issue 
than i can read from the bug reports.

At the moment I am just patient since almost every day parts of ODBC are 
updated... someone is heavily working on it.

Regards, Tim
