Ah, good point. I must admit I don't normally use ODBC, but I've given it a
try, and it doesn't look good regarding the question mark. Maybe I simply
don't know how it should be escaped, but my attempts (shown below) didn't
work.
This is run using PowerShell. Of all those tests, only the first one works
(it's not using the question mark, just to make sure something worked).
Interestingly, the question mark in the pseudo-column name ("Does it
work?") doesn't cause problems. (The errors are slightly different
depending on the attempt.)
Best wishes,
Bruno.
