Yes, I see that, but the point I was making is if I remove the 
[unixODBC] and I get a report of the following error

[Teradata][ODBC Teradata Driver][Teradata Database] Object 'tmp1' does 
not exist.

There is no way to verify that the error involved unixODBC in any way. 
Its a matter of self preservation instead of strict adherence to the 
spec in this case.

Its a simple thing to change, but it would be nice to hear what would be 
gained by the change, I have said what would be lost...
