Yes, you are right...

Perhaps to detect connection on win32 you must use error in select or
perhaps I never tried to connect to an invalid server... good.

This is new to me... did you discover some conditions where our ODBC
implementation fails to do so ?

I think you refer to tds_quote_id. It's used in many places... too many
for such a change. It seems that ASE former than 12 (12.0, 12.5?? I
don't know...) do not use '[' type quoting so is not safe to change
this. It seems also that sybase don't like quoting for some types of id
(like owner if I remember). Perhaps a check if mssql or sybase starting
from 12.xxx would be better.
