Shouldn't that be the concern of the unixodbc layer. I mean if it 
interacts with multiple database backends, it should know how to do it 
properly. One needs not send "pre-quoted" names to unixodbc, it should be 
unixodbc's job to figure out how to quote them based on backend.

I never had to change anything in my config when upgrading apache, except 
when I moved from apache to apache2, which is a major version increase 
(1.x.x->2.x.x). The issue I mention with openser is between minor 
releases 1.1.x->1.2.x, ...

I can understand that some things need to be improved, but I was pointing 
out that this kind of major refactoring between minor releases shouldn't 
be the norm.
