Using unixODBC-2.2.6 with 0.62.1 or current CVS, executing a query on SQL 
Server 2000 does not change data when it should.  This appears to be an error 
in our ODBC driver.  I think this may also be the case with SQL Server 7.0.  

This problem occurs not only with isql.  I found it initially with DBD::ODBC. 
 

Demonstration and log follow.
