I'm thinking this has to be an odbc 3.0 compatibility problem. The
default for odbc 2.x is that BIGINT uses a SQL_C data type of
SQL_C_CHAR. I tested BindCol and it worked fine. There is no
SQL_C_SBIGINT in odbc 2.x. Seems to me the odbc 3.0 driver manager
should bridge the gap and use an SQL_C_CHAR for the driver side.

So, I don't know what to tell you. I imagine you don't have any control
over the SQL_C_ data type, right?
