But this feature of the spec is *so* unhelpful! I can only imagine that it exists to accommodate some previously existing driver. Ah-ha! Perhaps one of the other programming languages uses "compilation unit" differently. <aside> I must work to get over this fascination with ugliness.

Incredible though it is, I am *again* thinking about bug 34309 "Error on importing a timestamp field from db2 via ODBC" <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34309>, which in turn is a recycling of OO.o bug 94543 "Error on importing a timestamp field from AS-400 via ODBC" <http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=94543> or <https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=94543>. (I am user 400guy in those older bugs.) I do not hang out on IRC very much; perhaps I should do it more. > > All the best, > > Michael. > > Thank you for your help and encouragement.
