You probably hit a (non-)conversion problem in the driver, giving the
message "invalid byte sequence for unicode" or "unicode char > 100000
not allowed" when the server receives a nonconverted char when it
expects unicode. See my message from January (4th or so?) about this, if
that patch helps you too this really should go into psqlodbc.
