Added ODBC 2.0 & 3.0 functions
            POWER(), SPACE(),
            COT(), DEGREES(),
            RADIANS(), ROUND(2
            arg) and TRUNCATE().
          
            Warning: Incompatible
            change! LOCATE() parameters
            were swapped according to ODBC standard. Fixed.
          
            Added function TIME_TO_SEC().
          
            In some cases, default values were not used for NOT
            NULL fields.
          
            Timestamp wasn't always updated properly in UPDATE
            SET ... statements.
          
            Allow empty strings as default values for
            BLOB and TEXT, to be
            compatible with mysqldump.
