Yes. This is the right way. Do you have it at the right place in
odbc.ini?

I see this way (function calls):
PGAPI_DriverConnect
dconn_get_connect_attributes
dconn_get_attributes
copyAttributes

There is no such way.

It could be useful to try enable the mylog output (Debug = 1 in odbc.ini).
The mylog is placed in /tmp/mylog_*.log.

BTW could you send us the odbc.ini to check it?
