Description: SQLDescribeCol return values
Details:

Hi!

The ODBC driver is PostgreSQL Unicode 8.01.02.00 from 31 of Jan of 2006.

I'm developing in VC++ 6.0 and I use SQLDescribeCol to determine the type of
each field. When I have a field in a database table defined as CHAR(100) the
function gives me -8 as type value! Is this normal?
Plus, if I change to CHAR(255) it returns -10!!

this is the
9c8-c74 EXIT SQLDescribeCol with return code 0 (SQL_SUCCESS)
