Subject: Unix->DBI->Proxy->ODBC

I am trying to contact an ODBC database on a Windows server
from a Unix (Solaris) machine
via Proxy/Server:

dbh = DBI.connect # works fine
dbh.tables        # works fine

dbh.columns("Orders") # returns an empty array

After adding "columns" to the "METHODS" line
in proxyserver.rb

colinfs = dbh.columns("Orders")
returns an Array of ColumnInfos, as expected.

But:
====
execute, prepare, fetch, etc.
all return "Can't dump Proc",
which is obviously triggered by a "collect"
in dbi.rb, e.g.

@handle.column_info.collect {|col| ColumnInfo.new(col) }

Has anybody successfully worked with DBI-Proxy-ODBC?

thanks for any help,
Norbert
