dumpbin  is not available with mingw, so I used nm tool, there is a .def
file, but, as you guessed, non of the missing symbols appear there,
the DLL only contains the SQL*** symbols + some other ones. I guess it
didn't include the db** symbols, I have to figure out what to build in order
to make it
work.... I'm guessing its src/dblib... m i right?

Thanks.
