<rant>I have lots of complaints about the opacity of these tools. For one
thing, discovering the datetime conversion behavior of ODBC requires -- like
everything else in ODBC -- inference and experimentation, not to mention a
willingness to deal with loose usage of words like "standard". And me, I'm
an American in an English-only environment. What it must be like for anyone
whose environment is even slightly more heterogeneous gives me heartburn
even to contemplate. </rant>
But it all boils down to something very unsurprising: different drivers
exhibit different behavior.
