We have found many things which work in version 1.9.1, and work in MS.NET, but
which have stopped working in version 2.0.

The release notes say nothing about odbc changes, though the subversion logs
show many changes between these two releases.

To give one example:

I have a problem e.g. with the constructor public OdbcParameter(string
name,Object value) with a string parameter.
It worked before (1.9.1) like this, and still does in Microsoft .net 2.0:
        parameters[0] = new OdbcParameter("partnershortname",
(System.Object)"Pok%"); 

But now with mono 2.0 we get this exception:
System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException: ERROR [22001] [DataDirect][ODBC PROGRESS
driver]String data, right truncated.  Error in parameter 1.
The workaround is:
       parameters[0] = new OdbcParameter("partnershortname", OdbcType.VarChar,
20);
       parameters[0].Value = (System.Object)"Pok%";


We also notice that this user is having odbc difficulties since 2.0 was
released:

As and when we have time we will file separate bugs for the other odbc issues
we are finding but we wanted to give you early notice of these problems.
