BUG: IDBSchemaRowset Reports DBTYPE_NUMERIC for MONEY Datatype

Last reviewed: October 31, 1997
Article ID: Q172531

----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft OLEDB SDK, version 1.1

----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- BUG #: 4643 (OLEDSDK)

SYMPTOMS

When an application queries SQL Server for the MONEY datatype using IDBSchemaRowset::GetRowset DBSCHEMA_COLUMNS, it returns DBTYPE_NUMERIC (131). This is inconsistent with IColumnsInfo::GetColumnInfo, which returns DBTYPE_CY (6) for the MONEY datatype.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use IColumnsInfo::GetColumnInfo for the column metadata.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in OLEDB SDK version 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
