It has been a couple of years, but I remember vaguely that back in the 
days of PossgreSQL 6, if you want ODBC support you needed to compile PG 
a bit different then normal, I am not really sure what options those 
where and if this still applies, I decided to not use ODBC because it 
resulted in an undesirable effect somewhere else. Though I am not sure 
if that is still the case.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
