  DESCRIPTION: Erlang ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) application. An
  erlang control process sends request to the c-process that queries the
  database using the Microsoft ODBC API. The c-process is implemented
  using two threads the supervisor thread and the database handler thread.
  If the database thread should hang erlang can close the c-process down
  by sendig a shutdown request to the supervisor thread.

  Erlang will start this c-process as a port-program and send information
  regarding inet-port nummbers through the erlang-port.
  After that c-process will communicate via sockets with erlang. The
  reason for this is that some odbc-drivers do unexpected things with
  stdin/stdout messing up the erlang-port communication.
  
  
  Command protocol between Erlang and C
   -------------------------------------
   The requests from Erlang to C are byte lists composed as [CommandByte,
   Bytes, StringTerminator]
   
   CommandByte - constants between 0 and 255
   identifing the request defined in odbc_internal.hrl and odbcserver.h

   Bytes - How to interpret this sequence of bytes depends on the
   CommandByte.

   StringTerminator - 0

   When the C-program processed the request from erlang it will use the
   ei-interface to create an Erlang term. This term will be sent the
   erlang via a socket. The Erlang control process, will forward
   it to the client that does binary_to_term before returning the result
   to the client program.

   Here follows a list of [CommandByte, Bytes] that describes the possible
   values. Note the Bytes part may be empty as in the case
   of ?CLOSE_CONNECTION and if integer values may be larger than 255
   they are converted to string values.

   [?OPEN_CONNECTION, C_AutoCommitMode, C_TraceDriver, C_SrollableCursors,
   C_TupelRow, BinaryStrings, ConnectionStr]
   [?CLOSE_CONNECTION]		     
   [?COMMIT_TRANSACTION, CommitMode]
   [?QUERY, SQLQuery]
   [?SELECT_COUNT, SQLQuery]
   [?SELECT, ?SELECT_FIRST]
   [?SELECT, ?SELECT_LAST]	
   [?SELECT, ?SELECT_NEXT]
   [?SELECT, ?SELECT_PREV]
   [?SELECT, CursorRelation, integer_to_list(OffSet), ";",
   integer_to_list(N), ";"]
   [?PARAM_QUERY, Binary] 

   C_AutoCommitMode - ?ON | ?OFF
   C_TraceDriver - ?ON | ?OFF
   C_SrollableCursors - ?ON | ?OFF
   C_TupelRow -  - ?ON | ?OFF
   BinaryStrings - ?ON | ?OFF
   ConnectionStr -  String
   CommitMode -  ?COMMIT | ?ROLLBACK
   SQLQuery  - String
   CursorRelation - ?SELECT_RELATIVE | ?SELECT_ABSOLUTE | ?SELECT_N_NEXT
   OffSet - integer
   N - integer
   Binary - binary encodede tuple of {SQLQuery, NoRows, Parameters}
   NoRows - integer
   Parameters - [{Datatype, InOrOut, Value}]
   InOrOut = [ERL_ODBC_IN | ERL_ODBC_OUT | ERL_ODBC_INOUT]
   Datatype -  USER_INT | USER_SMALL_INT | {USER_DECIMAL, Precision, Scale} |
   {USER_NMERIC, Precision, Scale} | {USER_CHAR, Max} | {USER_VARCHAR, Max} |
   {USER_WVARCHAR, Max} | {USER_FLOAT, Precision} | USER_REAL | USER_DOUBLE |
   USER_TIMESTAMP | {USER_WLONGVARCHAR, Max}
   Scale - integer
   Precision - integer
   Max - integer
