I parsed the documentation and header files, loaded them into tables, and
got the following:

1> select InfoTypeCategory, InfoType, Value from OdbcParameters p join
OdbcConstants c on InfoType = Symbol where Value in (25,86)
2> go
 InfoTypeCategory         InfoType                  Value
 ------------------------ ------------------------- -----
 Data Source Information  SQL_DATA_SOURCE_READ_ONLY 25
 Supported SQL            SQL_ALTER_TABLE           86

If others think this sort of thing is useful, I'll add the data files and
DDL to cvs.  Where would we put such data?  doc/symbols/odbc?  

What I have:

* text files based on SQLGetInfo documentation
* perl to parse those files
* tab-delimited metadata files (perl output)

I think querying tables is easier than scanning header files, and data files
are tractable when trying to create documentation or giant switch
statements.
