I find the MSDN ODBC GetInfo docs useful additions to this list but
since they switch locations so often and are slow to load I've placed a
plain HTML version (with all the ActiveX stuff removed) at:

  
http://www.vpservices.com/jeff/programs/SQL/docs/odbc-getinfo-msdn.html

It has a link to the URL of the original at msdn.microsoft.com (at least
the URL that works today).

Another interesting link is the SWsoft opensource ODBC test suite at:

I get the general idea but don't have a full picture of how I'd
implement that.  Steffen, perhaps instead of bothering Tim and the list,
I could correspond with you off-list to ask some clueless questions?  Or
on list is fine if there are others interested in this.
