IBM i Access ODBC driver returning only first letter of column names I'm new to DB2 and am connecting to a DB2 for i (V7R1) database using unixODBC and the IBM i Access ODBC driver for Linux.

When I query the database, the results only include the first letter of the column names. For example, a typical query run with the isql utility will give me something that looks like this:

SQL&gt; SELECT column1, column2 FROM schema.table WHERE column1 = 12345
+--------+---------------------------------+
| C      | C                               |
+--------+---------------------------------+
| 12345  | Lorem ipsum dolar sit           |
+--------+---------------------------------+
SQLRowCount returns -1
1 rows fetched


This is a problem for me because when I try to query the database in applications (e.g. using the pyodbc library for Python), I can't access the results by column name; both columns are named "C" in the result set. 

My questions are:


Why is this happening?
Is it possible to change this behavior? (How?)


EDIT:

This happens even if I try to give the columns aliases:

SQL&gt; SELECT column1 as foo, column2 as bar FROM schema.table WHERE column1 = 12345
+--------+---------------------------------+
| F      | B                               |
+--------+---------------------------------+
| 12345  | Lorem ipsum dolar sit           |
+--------+---------------------------------+
SQLRowCount returns -1
1 rows fetched
I believe this is a bug with the specific version of IBM's driver I was using. I was using the ODBC driver from IBM i Access Client Solutions Linux AP v07.03.00.

I replaced that driver with the ODBC driver from IBM i Access for Linux v7.1.0-1.0 and now everything works as expected.
