Description:
In a nutshell, the problem with the ODBC driver  is around
the SQLColumns() call. The data returns from a static array of types.  This information should be dynamic and read from the connected
database. You may want to cache this information on a per connection basis
for performance reasons but that is probably not necessary.

How to repeat:
See above

SQLColumns() should return information about table columns etc - including its data types. It probably should not cache this information.

SQLColumns() should return this information in a result set. 

My understanding is that MyODBC -> SQLColumns() does this. 

Perhaps you could provide more information about the problem.
