This particular example shows the scenario of the ODBC drivers requiring
different strings based on the Open Client version installed. As I mentioned
we have encountered this problem with DBD::Sybase as well, and in
combination with fallbacks to ODBC. I grabbed the wrong example code, but I
think the fact that this confusion was even possible just underlines the
point here.
