Hm, good point. So the question then becomes whether the driver manager
is expecting this parameter to be int-sized or pointer-sized.

I took a quick look at the unixODBC sources (2.0.4 which is what I have
handy, I know it's a bit old) and got completely confused: I see the
parameter declared as SQLUINTEGER in some places and UDWORD in others.
Anyone know that code base well enough to be certain which place is
definitive?
