With B3 the drivers went to a new optimised open technique. It uses standard ODBC calls, but in an unusual combination that appears to break some backends. So a switch has been added to turn off this optimisation and go back to the slower B2 system. You use this you add /FASTCOLUMNFETCH=FALSE to the driver string. Alternatively, you can avoid the problem in B3, B4 and Gold by using the /VERIFYVIASELECT=TRUE driver string. This uses a potentially less efficient system used by CW2.
