Re: password leak in mylog thru win odbc

Thank you once again Hiroshi, it is working now. But I found that when I
changed the length of password, some "hidden" password showed the length of
the actual password, which might raise the leaking (or guessing) risk a
little bit. Part of Mylog as following (user = test1, password =
abcdefghijk) :

============
.....
[-600497]copyAttributes:
DSN='',server='192.168.1.100',dbase='template1',user='test1',passwd='xxxxx',
port='5432',onlyread='0',protocol='6.4',conn_settings='',disallow_premature=
-1)
[-600497]attribute = 'DEBUG', value = '0'
[-600497]copyAttributes:
DSN='',server='192.168.1.100',dbase='template1',user='test1',passwd='xxxxx',
port='5432',onlyread='0',protocol='6.4',conn_settings='',disallow_premature=
-1)
[-600497]our_connect_string =
'DRIVER={PostgreSQL};UID=test1;PWD=xxxxxxxxxxx;SERVER=192.168.1.100;PORT=543
2;DATABASE=template1;READONLY=0;PROTOCOL=6.4;FAKEOIDINDEX=0;SHOWOIDCOLUMN=0;

[-600497]attribute = 'DRIVER', value = '{PostgreSQL}'
......
==========
some password='xxxxx' : the length is fixed to 5 digit.
but our_connect_string = .....PWD=xxxxxxxxxxx : which showed the actual
length of my password "abcdefghijk"
