Re: BUG #6534: Passing numeric Bind variables to ODBC driver convers to "Double precision"

No matter what numeric type I try to pass,(integer, numeric, currency) the ODBC driver is turning it into "Double Precision"
Only If I send the value as a string
Declare nvar as numeric(10,2)
Nvar=1, nvar=1.0000 or nvar=1.00 will come across as "Double Precision" input bind variable.
Sending
Nvar="1" will work but there are issues with converting numbers to character,

Any Ideas?

Thanks

In ODBC while binding variable using SQLBindParameter(..) API you might be using SQL_DOUBLE or SQL_Numeric or some similar datatype to send the variable, that's why in postgres it is showing as "Double precision"

Given the lack of any response here, I suggest reposting this to the pgsql-odbc mailing list.
