           Summary: OdbcParameter.Bind() can pass a NULL pointer to

I found that when I supplied a zero-length value to OdbcParameter, the
zero-length internal copy of it would be allocated as a null pointer which was
subsequently passed to SQLBindParameter.

The driver we are using rejects this.  (I guess some drivers are more
forgiving, although the MSDN documentation for SQLBindParameter does explicitly
mention a NULL parameter value pointer as a reason for returning an error.)

As a quick fix, I made OdbcParameter.AllocateBuffer check for a size of 0 and
use 1 instead.


Reproducible: Always
