Hi,
   From working through the docs I've hit some issues.

=start

TYPE

Type: array-ref, read-only

Returns a reference to an array of integer values for each column. The 
value indicates the data type of the corresponding column.

The values correspond to the international standards (ANSI X3.135 and 
ISO/IEC 9075) which, in general terms, means ODBC. Driver-specific types 
that don't exactly match standard types should generally return the same 
values as an ODBC driver supplied by the makers of the database. That 
might include private type numbers in ranges the vendor has officially 
registered with the ISO working group:

   ftp://sqlstandards.org/SC32/SQL_Registry/

=end

This FTP link no longer works, looks like it hasn't for some time:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.dbi.users/2007/04/msg31292.html

Then surly this link should be updated? Perhaps some guidance to contact 
Jim?

I have a copy of the SQL:2011 standard, yet I cannot seem to find a list 
of numbers correlating to data types? Is this DBI specific? Is it still 
supported? Am I missing something?

Likewise, here:
http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI-1.622/DBI.pm#Standards_Reference_Information
The link to:
http://www.sqlstandards.org/SC32/WG3/Progression_Documents/Informal_working_drafts/iso-9075-2-1999.bnf
Is broken.

As are:
http://www.jcc.com/SQLPages/jccs_sql.htm
http://www.altavista.com/query?q=sql+tutorial 
<http://www.altavista.com/query?q=sql+tutorial>

I'm guessing that might want to be updated to a google link.

If I can help with this, let me know, I can submit patches.
