[PATCH] Made ODBC function signatures 64-bit compliant

[Andreas Damm]

From: Andreas Damm <andreas at insightsoftware.com>

When using ODBC in a 64-bit environment I encountered a bug when SQLBindParameter is called where the driver manager (unixODBC) thinks that the 'BufferLength' parameter is less than 0, even though a value of 4 has been passed. The program I am trying to run is only available in a 64-bit version. Not being able to use MDAC (there doesn't appear to be a 64-bit version for download), the builtin odbc32.dll proxy to unixODBC is being used.

It appears that some of the signatures of the ODBC functions are incorrect when used in 64-bit mode chiefly when any length related argument is passed. Only the first 4 bytes are being forwarded to unixODBC with the remaining 4 bytes (length types in 64-bit are 8 bytes long) being padding and not having a defined value (something with the MSB set 1 making the whole number negative in my case).

Signature changes for 64-bit ODBC are limited to the SQLLEN, SQLULEN and SQLSETPOSIROW argument types. The ODBC header files and proxyodbc.c have been updated accordingly by this patch.
