While performing an upgrade, our in-house software started to report the following strange error. It is a C++ application talking to a remote PostgreSQL database, defined through ODBC:
ODBC error state S1092, native error 0.
[unixODBC][Driver Manager]Invalid attribute/option identifier
Both the client and the server are Centos 5.4 Xen guests with the following RPMs installed:
postgresql-libs-8.1.18-2.el5_4.1
postgresql-odbc-08.01.0200-3.1
postgresql-8.1.18-2.el5_4.1
postgresql-server-8.1.18-2.el5_4.1

To enable tracing you must edit your
odbcinst.ini
and do something like:
