Re: Oracle 8 ODBC driver v 8.1.7.4 anomaly - "missing" column

Apparently this is a known Oracle bug. I do not know the bug number, but the first column gets dropped when selecting from multiple tables or view (or some such bug - I got it secondhand from a friend). To workaround I ask for a "faux" first column (i.e., one that I did not care about) then ignore it.
