Package: odbc-postgresql
Version: 1:07.03.0200-5
Severity: normal
Apparently specific to amd64 installation only, an ODBC client request
for table/view structure ('describe table') results in a segfault.
Example isql session:
$ isql DSNname myuser mypass
+---------------------------------------+
| Connected! |
| |
| sql-statement |
| help [tablename] |
| quit |
| |
+---------------------------------------+
SQL> help
(output returns list of all tables and views, as expected)
SQL> help mytable
Segmentation fault
I note that issuing a direct SQL query, with prior knowledge of the
column names etc., is successful:
$ isql DSNname myuser mypass
+---------------------------------------+
| Connected! |
| |
| sql-statement |
| help [tablename] |
| quit |
| |
+---------------------------------------+
SQL> select * from mytable;
(table output returned as expected)
Additional information:
- Above behaviour is reproducible and identical for connections to two
different postgresql server installations (both on other boxes), one
is postgresql 7.2.1-2woody8 (current Woody release) and the other is a
slightly out-of-date Sarge running postgresql version 7.4.6-5;
- On a similar system which is i686 rather than amd64, the segfaults do
not occur - 'help mytable' returns the expected table structure, so
this bug appears at face value to be specific to the amd64 version of
odbc-postgresql;
