Re: 2008 Data Types For DBLIB

For instance, the dbprtype() just returns "char" for these columns and dbcolutype() just returns 0/null. It would be great if I could get TinyTDS at the C-level to do some extra legwork for these unsupported columns that come back as text. But I can not seem to find a way to get a human readable string to compare for the columns datatype. Thoughts?

Does anyone think they will be needing or working on supporting these data types [date], [datetime2], [datetimeoffset], and [time] using DBLIB? Right now they come back to me as SYBTEXT and I was considering coping with them at that level in my own way for the time being, which seems OK. I think I can parse out what I need from the string.
