I figured this one out sometime later :-) I ignored Types.OTHER when I
originaly wrote the code on the basis that I didn't know what it was for -
always a mistake.

If I can use getUDT I'll be satisfied with that for the time being, but
SOURCE_DATA_TYPE would certainly be much more convenient.

I expect this question has been asked before but is there any reason why I
shouldn't use the newer driver (for v8) with 7.4.6? I assume that it would
allow me to use the getUDT method if I did that.
