Hello,
after returning back to work one of the first things I did was a little try
with Star-/OpenOffice and FreeTDS/ODBC. Unfortunately - despite the work
that Frediano put into this driver the last two weeks - the result still is
not very promising. StarOffice still crashes on remote connections and even
on connections to a local server both don't get the desired 'browse' list of
tables in the database (OpenOffice at least does not crash on a remote
connection).

By incident today I read the recent ChangeLog of the MyODBC driver. There
are three things that probably might be of interest (better you decice
yourself  ;-)

"-- Fix for the thread-safe library core dumps when the 
   driver is built with the debug options. 

-- Fix for OpenOffice to return valid list of catalog 
   names SQLTables along with a valid catalog name.

-- Fixed SQLTablePrivileges and SQLColumnPrivileges to 
   return each privilege type in a individual rows.

-- Fixed the time connersion format error from SQL_TIME_STRUCT

   (Thanks to Ocke Janssen<ocke.janssen AT sun.com> for the 
    above 3 bugs from OpenOffice team).
