Yes, what Martin says is correct, but it should not be the problem here, 
as SQLINTEGER is always 4 bytes.

However, if the app, DM and driver are built in different ways then it 
will cause problems.

The newer releases of unixODBC allow the compile settings to be found by 
configure scripts using

    odbc_config --cflags

and by looking at the header created by the driver manager build 
unixodbc_conf.h

But if the driver is not built on that machine, there is no way of 
enforcing consistency
