Right. BTW, I believe the SSL support is actually broken in 7.0.* :-(
(the lack of complaints doesn't say much for the number of people
worried about comsec for PG). It's allegedly fixed in current sources
but I haven't tried it. I'd suggest experimenting with a current
snapshot.

You need SSL which is a separate package. Beyond that I haven't a clue;
you'll have to go look for info about SSL.

[... grep ...] Apparently not. libpq (and therefore anything built
atop libpq) does, but ODBC doesn't use libpq. ODBC needs some other
updates too --- for instance, it still thinks there's a limit on query
string length.
Right now I don't think anyone is actively maintaining ODBC, but it
badly needs someone to care for it. Any volunteers out there?
