Hi!

After doing some testing with the osql script yesterday I found the
following:


   - For AIX (at least at 6.1 and 7.1) the host command needs to have a
   "-n" switch to get the "new"
   format that the osql expects.

   Without the "-n" you get -> <fully qualified host name> is <ip address>.

   With the "-n" switch you get the expected -> <fully qualified host name>
   has address <ip address>.

   - The ODBCINI environment variable and the <--prefix value>/etc (path to
   the binary with "bin" or
   "lib" replaced by "etc") paths need to be checked for the odbc.ini file.
   I added code to echo them
   to the ${INI_DIRNAME} >&3 file. This is what caused me the most grief.

   - The sed pattern "[^.0-9]" that is checking for host names that are ip
   addresses may not work right
   on host names that have numbers in them or are fully qualified (<host
   name>.<domain>). In my case
   a host name like "b0aaasql3" got turned into "0aaasql3" which broke the
   if statement. Maybe this is
   just an AIX sed issue.


Thanks!
