Actually the original posting came from me - some weeks ago. The reason
for this has been found. The development environment I used (IBM VisualAge/ST)
uses "special" ODBC manager and drivers from Intersolv.
This special handling is used to check wether the user has a special
license to use the ODBC drivers and manager.
The checking was done within IBM Smalltalk and I´ve found the call, where
the special option has been set. Removing the call and I was able to use
the PostgreSQL driver.
BUT: I´ve used several third-party odbc drivers and they all work well -
only the PostgreSQL drivers returns an error - perhaps the behaviour of
the driver should be changed !
