Anybody knows how long does it take to get a CVS account? I have submitted my original request almost a week ago.

With this new module, we avoid this problem by controlling when the init/fini is done in the module. In addition, setting up the ODBC with asa involves setting environment variables and using a driver manager which is not standard on UNIX and prune to errors and build problems to users. This new modules simplifies all that in that it links with the dblib library (the other native interface of SQL Any). In addition, with the existence of this module, we can add features that are specific to ASA such as improved blob handling which exists in newer releases (8) of ASA. M.

What does the new driver do that these don't (Not knocking the extension, just curious)?
