Have data being shoveled into fields which do not represent native type 
reported by database and need to completely disable character translation.

Looking for parity with SQL Server driver option "perform translation for 
character data" (ODBC.INI AutoTranslate=No)

Anyone know of a trick to make it work?  Tried setting Charset in local 
environment using replacement iconv but every conversion in the list 
either crashed or didn't help.

If not 'll send a patch to support it :)

regards,
Peter
