                 The erlang odbc process will now die normally if a
         connection can not be established. No connection no
         process it is expected. And as the client has already
         received the error message that would be the reason with
         which the erlang process would be stopped, the supervisor
         report will be superfluous. Naturally you may still get
         supervisor reports if the erlang process is stopped for
any other reason than the above.

                 If an ODBC API function times out it will cause the
         client to exit with reason timeout. If this exit was
         caught and the client continued using the connection, the
         next request could get the answer meant for the
         previously timed out request, this is no longer the case.

                 Scrollable cursors are nice but causes some overhead. For
         some connections speed might be more important than
         flexible data access and then you can disable scrollable
         cursor for a connection, limiting the API but gaining
         speed.

                 The Erlang ODBC application consists of both Erlang and C
         code. The C code is delivered as a precompiled executable
         for windows and solaris. For the purpose of recompilation
         or compiling on some other platform there is a Makefile
         included.

                 Expensive constructs such as lists:flatten/1, double

         efficient constructs or when possible totally eliminated.
