    Description

      Calling SQLTables fails with an error on invalid string error. It seems that it's the TABLE_COMMENT / REMARK column that fails in MADB_ConvertAnsi2Unicode. This has been tested and reproduces with MariaDB 10.2.1 and with MariaDB ColumnStore 1.0.2, but not on MariaDB 10.1.16. Looking at the ODBC Driver sources, I see that the REMARK column is sometimes mapped to NULL and sometimes to TABLE_COMMENT. As the ODBC driver is really important for MariaDB ColumnStore, this is significant. Running Business Objects on MariaDB CS is, due to this issue, not possible at this point in time.The following code illustrates the issue.

      #include <stdio.h>
      #include <sqlext.h>
       
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
         {
         SQLHANDLE hEnv, hConn, hStmt;
         SQLRETURN nRet;
         SQLCHAR szErrMsg[256];
         SQLCHAR szErrState[5];
         SQLINTEGER nErrNative;
         SQLSMALLINT nErrMsgLen;
