Ok. I've done a patch and will upload it if the following config is ok by
Anthony.
(Either create odbc.conf.xml in autoload_configs or add it directly to
freeswitch.xml)
<section name="odbc" description="odbc general options">
<connection_check>SELECT 1</connection_check>
</section>
My patch will load that string when a new connection is created.
