OpenDBX 1.1.7 Development

About:
The OpenDBX library provides a unified and consistent API for software
developers to different database management systems. The function library
is written in the C programming language and aims at implementing access
to the native database interfaces efficiently via a thin abstraction
layer. It consists of a basic set of functions that are part of all vendor
database libraries and can be extended by additional function blocks.
Currently, Firebird/Interbase, MS SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle PostgreSQL,
SQLite 2 and 3, and Sybase ASE are supported. 

Changes:
Much work has been done to clean up several backends and optimize the mssql
and sybase backends to be in par with the other ones in terms of code
quality. Further big changes were the replacement of the ODBX_* types by
the ODBX_TYPE_* ones and the comparison of pointers to NULL instead of 0.
There are also some important bugfixes included, like the wrong code the
pgsql backend returned for empty queries or the off by one bug in
odbx_excape(). Moreover, there was an uninitialized variable for the host
string in mysql_odbx_init().  

Release focus: Code cleanup
