				     PRIMARY KEY(id))

	  the both fields are reported as Nullable by the ODBC driver.
	  This breaks test 8 in t/40listfields.t.

	- The Adabas ODBC driver doesn't support the SQLDataSources
	  function, although it claims to do so. To quote
	  doc/odbcinfo/odbc3.htm:

		SQLDataSources

		The Driver Manager administers this function.

	  However, look at this:

		perl -MDBI -e 'print DBI->data_sources("Adabas"),
			       $DBI::errstr, "\n"'
		[SOFTWARE AG][ODBCLIB A]Driver not capable. (SQL-S1C00)
		(DBD: data_sources/SQLDataSources err=-1)

	  This breaks test 2 in t/10dsnlist.t.


IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS:

Do not hand edit the generated Makefile unless you are completely sure
you understand the implications! Always try to make changes via the
Makefile.PL command line and/or editing the Makefile.PL.

You should not need to make any changes. If you do *please* let me
know so that I can try to make it automatic in a later release.

This software is supported via the dbi-users mailing list.  For more
information and to keep informed about progress you can join the a
mailing list via http://www.fugue.com/dbi (if you are unable to use the
web you can subscribe by sending a message to dbi-request@fugue.com, it
may take a few days to be processed).

Please post details of any problems (or changes you needed to make) to
dbi-users@fugue.com and CC them to joe@ispsoft.de and
jurlwin@access.digex.net. But note...


** IT IS IMPORTANT TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

1. A complete log of a all steps of the build, e.g.:

  perl Makefile.PL           (do a make realclean first)
  make
  make test
  make test TEST_VERBOSE=1   (if any tests fail)

2. Full details of which software you are using, including:

  Perl version (the output of perl -V)

It is important to check that you are using the latest version before
posting. If you're not then I'm *very* likely to simply say "upgrade to
the latest". You would do yourself a favour by upgrading beforehand.

Please remember that I'm _very_ busy. Try to help yourself first,
then try to help me help you by following these guidelines carefully.

Regards,
Tim, Jeff and Jochen
