I am using the same code in Easysoft and SQL Native Client:

   SQLULEN precision;

Note that I am connected to SQL Server 2014 and that tdsdump shows:

token.c:1533:tds7_get_data_info:
         colname = t
         type = 39 (varchar)
         server's type = 167 (xvarchar)
         column_varint_size = 8
         column_size = 1073741823 (1073741823 on server)

...

I can deal with this based on the precision.
