Hmm. I'd say that that should raise an error, since you are giving the
backend conflicting instructions about where to deliver the selected
tuples (through the cursor, or into a new table). I think right now
the code simply ignores the INTO clause when the context is a cursor
declaration, but giving an error if both are specified seems more
appropriate.

However, that might not help you very much :-(. I take it you are
just issuing a SELECT INTO command yourself, and ODBC is tacking on
the DECLARE CURSOR part? Seems ODBC needs to know not to do that
for a SELECT INTO.
