[BUG] MS Access mdb file fails to connect: "Error getting information about available transaction isolation options from the connection"
See original GitHub issueDescribe your system
odbcPackage Version:2.4.0- ODBC Driver: MDBTools
- Database Name: MS Access mdb database file
- Database OS: PopOS 20.04 LTS (Ubuntu derivative)
- Node.js Version:
v14.17.4 - Node.js OS: PopOS 20.04 LTS (Ubuntu derivative)
Describe the bug Attempting to connect to an MDB file fails with “Error getting information about available transaction isolation options from the connection”.
There was a fix to ignore that problem in #181, which was included with the 2.4 release, but something still seems to be amiss.
Expected behavior I would expect to be able connect without issues.
To Reproduce
const odbc = require('odbc');
async function connectToDatabase() {
const connection = await odbc.connect('DSN=E2Test')
console.log('w00t!')
}
connectToDatabase().catch(e => console.log(e));
Running the program fails with the following error:
$ node test-connect.js
[Error: [odbc] Error getting information about available transaction isolation options from the connection] {
odbcErrors: []
}
Here is the trace file output:

Additional context
I have verified I can connect to the DSN with isql:
$ isql E2Test
+---------------------------------------+
| Connected! |

| sql-statement |
| help [tablename] |
| quit |
| |
+---------------------------------------+
SQL>
From the prompt, I can query successfully.
