I am using the MySQL ODBC 5.2w Driver (5.2.3) and it appears that it does n=
ot follow the rules for SQLConfigDataSource. The specification for the SQLC=
onfigDataSource function says that the attributes should be separated using=
 a null byte and the list of attributes terminated with a 2 null byte seque=
nce, however the MySQL ODBC driver only uses the supplied attributes if the=
y are separated using semi-colons. This doesn't seem right.

Does anyone know when this was broken, or if there is any intention of fixi=
ng it?

Thanks for your input.
