Description:
MyODBC manual reports that SQLDescribeCol() maps BLOB/LONGBLOB columsn to SQL_VARBINARY, but 3.51.10 returns SQL_LONGVARBINARY.  Need to verify correctness of code and update manual if necessary.

How to repeat:
SQLDescribeCol() on BLOB/LONGBLOB columns.

Suggested fix:
n/a

Documentation is in error.

myodbc-data-types should show SQL_LONGVARBINARY as the SQL_Type for TINYBLOB, BLOB, MEDIUMBLOB and LONGBLOB columns.
