SQLDescribeParam ?

Hi!
I have a Raspberry Pi (arm platform) running debian 6
which has unixodbc .

I installed this :

sudo apt-get install unixodbc unixodbc-dev odbcinst freetds
freetds-dev freetds-bin

and when I run a program towards a sql-server I get

Message: [Proc=SQLDescribeParam][Server=][State=IM001][unixODBC][Driver
Manager]Driver does not support this function

Ok, too bad, but I can live without that function.

However, when I run the same code on a windows client, it goes well,
using MS native client.


Anyway, my real problem is that when I have a DateTime2(3) column,
SQLDescribeParam returns
* SQL_VARCHAR

with MS native windows driver I get one of (not sure which, I treat
them equally)
* SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP
* SQL_DATETIME

Is there a way around this, to tell the client library to return a
correct datatype?

I'm not quite sure what lib or layer I'm supposed to look at.
odbc or tds.

isql does this:
(its column IXXLUTS that is behaving strange)
