Indeed, I have a patched version of pyodbc (http://pyodbc.sourceforge.net) that I build and run on linux (debian/unstable). If your interested I can send you my patch, its very small. I'm also planning on packaging pyodbc for debian so more people can start using it with unixodbc. -- sam clegg :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: http://superduper.net/ :: PGP : D91EE369 $superduper: .signature,v 1.13 2003/06/17 10:29:24 sam Exp $
