 The following bug has been logged online:

 Bug reference:      5242
 Logged by:          Gerhard Lutz
 Email address:      gerhard.l...@mbtech-group.com
 PostgreSQL version: 8.4.1
 Operating system:   Windows XP
 Description:        ODBC driver v8.4.1 crashed
 Details:

 Hello,
 in my application the PostgreSQL ODBC driver v8.4.1 sometimes crashed when
 accessing a PostgreSQL v8.3.6 server.
 I want to read out data from a column of type TEXT. I use a simple SQL
 query SELECT prg FROM testdata WHERE id=1234.
 Inside the following C call

 rcode = ::SQLGetData(m_hStmt, nCol, SQL_C_CHAR, m_szString, nBufSize,
 sdODataLength);

 the psqlodbc35w.dll crashes (probably depending on the column data).
 I've got Mini Dumps of these crashes. Just tell me if you need them.

 Do you already know something about this problem?

Since there has been no response here, I would try reposting this
problem report on pgsql-odbc.  This list is technically for PostgreSQL
bugs proper, and it seems that the pgsql-odbc folks don't follow it
closely.

And to the list: can we PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE add a note about this on
the bug submission page?  I asked for this before and Tom concurred,
but I'm not aware that anything has been done about it.  What do I
have to do to make this happen?

*scratches head*  Maybe something like this?

For bugs in supporting products, such as psql-odbc, pgsql-jdbc, or
pgadmin, please do not use this bug reporting form.  Instead, post
your question to the appropriate a href='/community/lists'mailing
list/a


hmm - not sure that is too clear especially because I don't think  ther 
is only JDBC/ODBC or pgadmin (nor do I think you names match up with how 
they are really called). what about doing it the other way round like:


This bug report form can be used for reporting bugs and problems with 
the PostgreSQL database, for problems with database connectors, 
graphical administration tools or other external projects please report 
to them directly. Alternatively you can look at the available a 
href='/community/lists'mailing lists/a and see if there is a more 
apropriate list available.

I think it's a good idea to mention some specific more problematic names
like the three listed.

yeah maybe - but afaik the products are not named psql-odbc or 
pgsql-jdbc - those are more or less list names and likely not of much 
more use than not listening them at all :).
Plus a lot of the surounding projects (like pgadmin, slony or most 
pgfoundry projects) have their own bug/issue reporting/tracking 
infrastructure.

I'm all open for better wordings - any other takers? :)

This bug report form can be used for reporting bugs and problems with
the PostgreSQL database, for problems with database connectors like
JDBC and ODBC, graphical administration tools like pgAdmin and
phpPgAdmin, or other external projects like Slony, Bucardo, etc.,
please report to them directly.  In cases where you have a problem
with things outside the PostgreSQL database itself, check the
available a href=/community/listsmailing lists/a and see if
there is a more appropriate list available.

Cheers,
David.

Agreed.  Plus I'd use uppercase, otherwise people is just going to
ignore it visually.  So

The comma splice here makes it look like the things you shouldn't use
the form for are in the same list as the things you should use it for.
 How about:

This bug report form should only be used for reporting bugs and
problems with the PostgreSQL database.  Problems with database
connectors such as ODBC and JDBC, graphical administration tools such
as pgAdmin or other external projects bshould not be reported
here/b; please report to those projects directly.  For products
closely connected with PostgreSQL, there may be an appropriate a
