I havent come across this error before, when I try to connect to my DSN i get:

q)\l odbc.kq).odbc.open usencoding name too long150008048`

Any ideas on why this would happen?

You didn’t detail what database you are connecting to, so we can only speculate.

Based on the error message itself, I’m guessing that it’s a PostgresSQL instance. If that’s the case, I suggest that you check this warning message out from Postgres-related forums.

BTW, your connection was actually successful, the number below was actually the ODBC handle you get for the open connection.
