    Hello,
            I'm using DBI and DBD:ODBC in my perl script. I'm also using
    DBI::Const::GetInfoType. I was trying to get the database name using
    $dbh->get_info( $GetInfoType{SQL_DATABASE_NAME} ), and it returned 0,
    but $dbh->get_info( 16 ) worked! So I looked in
    lib/DBI/Const/GetInfo/ODBC.pm, and sure enough, it is missing a case for
    16 in the %InfoTypes hash. This is the version of the ODBC.pm file I am
    using:

    # $Id: ODBC.pm,v 1.3 2003/02/26 17:56:01 timbo Exp $

            Is my file outdated, or was SQL_DATABASE_NAME just left out by
    accident? Was it left out on purpose?

    Thanks,
    Phillip Hellewell
