---------------------------------------------------------------------
This file describes changes and or fixes since the last update.

BUG_FIXES:

1. Fixed problem with SQLPrepare and recycling used statements.
   This fixes the problem with MS Access "Save As/Export ODBC" which
   creates a table and populates it.

2. Escape apostrophes (') in Parameters.  Fixes parse error when
apostrophes
   are contained in data being inserted/updated.

3. Enhanced SQLPutData for numeric->character conversion.  MSQuery would

   fail on insert/update.


NEW FEATURES:

1. Datasource option to show the OID column.  For MS Access this is a
good
   field to specify as the unique identifier, especially if there is no
key
   for the table OR the key has many parts (backend canonifier problem).

2. Datasource option to "fake" an index on OID.  If you are showing
OID's,
   AND you dont have a real index on OID, this will cause the driver
   to report one, allowing applications which can't ask for the
information
   (i.e., Access 2.0) to use OID as a unique identifier.

3. Discriminate between types TABLE and VIEW in SQLTables.
