Re: ODBCv3 help...

Eric,

After sending my last message, I recalled that you do have to set
SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION. This is done before you allocate a connection
handle. ODBC 3.x Driver Managers and Drivers check the version of the
ODBC spec for which the application is written for. You specify this
with the SQLSetEnvAttr ODBC API call.

Modify your app as follows:

SQLHENV env;
SQLHDBC dbc;
SQLAllocHandle (SQL_HANDLE_ENV, SQL_NULL_HANDLE, &env);

fprintf (stderr, "Allocated ENV\n");

/* Add the following.*/
SQLSetEnvAttr (env,
SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION,
(SQLPOINTER) SQL_OV_ODBC3,
SQL_IS_UINTEGER);

SQLAllocHandle( SQL_HANDLE_DBC, env, &dbc );
fprintf (stderr, "Allocated DBC\n");

I'd still recommend using SQLError to help determine what the problem
is.
