BUG# 9497 (4.20.00)

= SYMPTOMS =

The value -1 will be always be returned when using dbcursorcolinfo to determine the usertype of a column in a cursored result set. This behavior is not consistent with dbucoltype which will return the value -1 for system datatypes and the user type for user-defined datatypes.

= CAUSE =

The DB-Library function dbcursorcolinfo returns -1 as the usertype for any column in a cursored results set.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in DB-Library version 4.20.00. This problem was corrected in DB-Library version 4.21.00. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
