Hi everyone,

I haven't yet received any feedback (either positive or negative) from
any psqlODBC developers regarding my patch to hide tables that are not
accessible to the current user here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-odbc/2007-06/msg00028.php. I'd like
to help get this patch applied to CVS if possible, as it has proved to
be a really useful feature for us.


Kind regards,

Mark.
