Tamas,

The patch looks straight forward and harmless.  Since the ODBC
API is essentially internal and the changes seem to have no effect
on existing use I think there is no need for an RFC.

I was just speaking to folks at the conference yesterday about
the need for an MS SQL Server driver in OGR so the timing of
your implementation is excellent!  I look forward to this driver
going into OGR.

Best regards,
